Ansari's early days as a comic were spent crafting his own brand of nerdy comedy that poked fun at pretentious hipster culture. A natural goofball, his affable dorkiness as Parks and Recreation's sarcastic entrepreneur, Tom Haverford, earned him a loyal following. There's even TomHaverfoods.com, a web site fully devoted to a single bit on the show, during which Tom is a culinary wordsmith. In his stand-up shows, don't expect wholesome Tom, but do expect a suit. Ansari is his own charming, swaggerific character, with an inappropriate sense of humor and an unhealthy obsession with pop culture.

Keep an eye on tour.azizansari.com for tickets.
