Blowing His Cover

You know Eddie Griffin was probably picked on a bunch as a kid. Truth be told, he's a funny-looking guy with a whacked-out sense of humor, so it's only natural that he became the class clown who feels the need to teach the world about "Man Laws." There's just something...

You know Eddie Griffin was probably picked on a bunch as a kid. Truth be told, he's a funny-looking guy with a whacked-out sense of humor, so it's only natural that he became the class clown who feels the need to teach the world about "Man Laws." There's just something intrinsically goofy about the guy, who has starred in everything from Undercover Brother to Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, but that goofiness is exactly what we love about him. So if you'd like a chance to see one of Comedy Central's Greatest Stand-ups of All Time, then you're in luck, because Griffin will be making a local stop this weekend at the Improv, 4980 Belt Line Road, Suite 250 in Addison. Showtimes are 8 and 10:30 p.m. Friday and 6:30 and 9 p.m. Saturday. You must be 21 or older to attend. Tickets are $30. Call 972-404-8501 or visit improv.com.
