Kamau Bell is a two-time Emmy Award winner, author, podcast host and star of the new Netflix special, Private School Negro. Eugene Weekly covered his visit to Eugene last year. At that performance, the audience experienced what can only be described as a weird-ass experience. Before the show even started, a deranged patron (and his equally out-of-her gourd spouse) lost their collective marbles, and before anyone could even figure out what was even happening, there was a hole the size of a volleyball in the side of the Soreng theater wall. Bell — who has made himself at home on the South side of Chicago and at KKK potlucks — was sitting on the edge of the stage, keeping everyone calm. It was bonding for all of us, and since my husband and I had been seated right next to the guy throwing punches, I couldn’t wait to catch up with Bell — to let him know what was happening in our audience row. He was onstage, probably figuring, like I was, like we all were, that we all might just die that night. Because this is America now, and who the hell knows anymore? Will another local audience member lose his shit at Kamau’s show this time? Who knows?! Find out 8 pm Friday, Sept. 14, at the McDonald Theatre. In the meantime, check out eugeneweekly.com for some insider chat with Bell. — Rachael Carnes 14 September 13, 2018 • eugeneweekly.com “What a Long Strange Trip It’s Been w/ Wally Bowen,” 7-8pm, KOCF 92.5 FM. “Arts Journal,” current local arts, 9-10pm today & Thursday, Sept. 13.
