Fans of the FX television show “The League” are in for a treat this week, as comedian Steve Rannazzisi hits McDonald Theatre. Though he cut his tele- vision teeth alongside Ashton Kutcher on “Punk’d” — that old MTV show that went downhill after they ran out of decent celebrities to prank — Ran- nazzisi is actually something of a veteran stand-up act; after all, it was his stand-up that landed him the role on MTV. But more importantly, he found his roots and learned the business by working as a doorman — that’s right, ground-up style — for huge entertainers such as Eddie Griffi n and Joe Rogan. So if you’re wondering who this fella with the diffi cult name plastered all over the McDonald Theatre is, remember: he’s far more than that, and he’ll prob- ably even make you laugh. Steve Rannazzisi performs at 8pm Wednesday, Feb. 27, at McDonald Theatre; $20-$25. FOOD/DRINK Eugene Food Not Bombs, 2-4pm, 8th & West Park. FREE.
