Operation Desert Comedy

I'm pissed off at comedian Robert Hawkins. See, his MySpace profile has some crap-ass jokes on it (for example, under favorite television he posts: CSI: Your Granny and Little House on Your Pappy...it's that kind of thing, many, many times). So I wanted to just blast him not only for...

I'm pissed off at comedian Robert Hawkins. See, his MySpace profile has some crap-ass jokes on it (for example, under favorite television he posts: CSI: Your Granny and Little House on Your Pappy...it's that kind of thing, many, many times). So I wanted to just blast him not only for that, but also for acting on Titus, but now I can't...because under his MySpace photos there are shots of him performing for the troops in Afghanistan, Baghdad and Kuwait. Dammit. That's like the antidote for shit-talking alt-weekly writers. I'll have to heckle him instead as he performs through Sunday at the Addison Improv, 4980 Belt Line Road. Tickets are $15. Call 972-404-8501.
Wed., Dec. 13, 8:30 p.m.; Thu., Dec. 14, 8:30 p.m.; Fri., Dec. 15, 8:30 & 10:30 p.m.; Sat., Dec. 16, 7, 9 & 11 p.m.; Sun., Dec. 17, 7:30 p.m.
