WHAT’S
HAPPENING
Fun fact: Sweet, lovable comic Kevin Hart got booed off the stage
during his fi rst-ever comedy set, and soon after, another gig
resulted in a piece of chicken getting thrown at his face. Thankfully,
Hart stuck with it, settling into a sort of Chris Rock style tinged with
charming self-deprecation. And while Hart’s best jokes are about
his kids, Los Angeles-based comic Chris D’Elia is most famous for
a painfully long, acted-out bit about the nonsensical shit drunk
girls say. Infl uenced by fellow absurdists Jim Carrey and Eddie
Murphy, the power of D’Elia’s silliness is not to be underestimated.
He and Hart couldn’t be more diff erent, but they have one thing in
common: Eugene is on their list of tour stops this week. It’s not often
that comics of this caliber come through, let alone two in one week.
Wowee!
Kevin Hart performs a student-only show 8pm Saturday, Nov. 15, at
Matthew Knight Arena; $40. Chris D’Elia performs 7:30pm Sunday,
Nov. 16, at the McDonald Theatre; $15-$30.
