Strike a Posehn

He’s got a big ol’ potato body, but you love his pasty ass anyway. He was an original cast member on Mr. Show, he’s been on the Sarah Silverman Show, and if you were a fan of Just Shoot Me! (ME!), you might remember his 29-episode arc as Ray Liotta’s...

He’s got a big ol’ potato body, but you love his pasty ass anyway. He was an original cast member on Mr. Show, he’s been on the Sarah Silverman Show, and if you were a fan of Just Shoot Me! (ME!), you might remember his 29-episode arc as Ray Liotta’s cousin, Kevin. It didn’t win an Emmy, but it probably should have — he was easily one of the most convincing mail clerks of our generation. He’s Brian Posehn! Nerd rage is his shtick, and when he shout-delivers his lines, you feel his pain. He also loves heavy metal more than that one kid in your wood shop class. Posehn may have an almost unpronounceable last name, but he’s funny as farts and performing at Hyena’s in Fort Worth at 8:30 and 10:30 p.m. Friday. The shows are for those 21 and older. Tickets are $12 and on sale now at hyenascomedynightclub.com. Posehn will perform two shows Saturday as well.
