Brave New Workshop Alum Louie Anderson Returns for Two Nights of Comedy in the Experimental Thinking Centre
Minneapolis, MN - The Brave New Workshop (BNW) is excited to announce that they will be hosting the return of legendary comedian Louie Anderson for two nights of standup comedy at the BNW's ETC event space in downtown Minneapolis. These two performances will take place on Friday, March 6 at 7pm and Saturday, March 7 at 7pm. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased via the BNW box office at (612) 332-6620 or http://etc.bravenewworkshop.com/AnEveningwithLouieAndersonintheETC.aspx
Louie Anderson is one of the most versatile and successful comedians working in Hollywood today. Anderson's last appearances at the Brave New Workshop were in 2012, selling out the BNW's reincarnation of Dudley Riggs' original Experimental Thinking Centre (ETC) event space. "We've got 100s of alumni who've done well, and Louie is one who stands out as embodying the spirit of the Brave New Workshop," says BNW owner John Sweeney. "He got his start in the ETC, back when it was at Seven Corners, and to have him come back to the second version of that room is truly exciting."
Each performance will feature Louie Anderson performing standup comedy, followed by a 30 minute Q & A with the comedian. Tickets are $55 and are general admission.
