Eric Andre
Carolina Theatre 309 W Morgan St, Durham, North Carolina 27701
We’re not 100 percent sure which Eric Andre you’ll get in his “Legalize Everything” standup tour. It’s almost certain you won’t get the family-friendly one who voiced one of the hyenas in the live-action The Lion King over the summer. It’s also unlikely that you’ll get anything as extreme as the fictionalized version of himself that hosts Adult Swim’s The Eric Andre Show; a sweaty, bellicose mock-talk-show host whose awkward interviews almost always result in his smashing his cardboard desk to pieces. Presumably, there will also be less nudity. In his acting and comedy, Andre veers wildly from playing the straight man to playing the wild man, with the common element being chaos—whether he’s causing it or reacting to it. He’s also usually damn funny, so no matter which Andre you get at The Carolina, you can go through the doors expecting to laugh hard.
