On his faux public-access talk show, The Eric Andre Show, comedian Eric Andre destroys things. He makes his guests uncomfortable, terrorizes people in public, and generally makes a mess. And yet somehow, despite its apparent mean-spiritedness, the show is oddly brilliant. Going a step further than the discomfort of Space Ghost Coast to Coast or the playfulness of Comedy Bang! Bang!, Andre’s show seems to question the entire concept of the late night talk show. Why this format? Why these conventions? He makes it all seem silly and antiquated by showing the structure at its absolute worst. How his particular brand of absurdism translates to a solo live show is anyone’s guess.

The late show is sold out. To check for tickets to the recently added early show, click here.
