“Eugene Mirman: An Evening of Comedy in a Fake Underground Laboratory” – COMEDY CENTRAL Original Stand-Up World Premiere

Midnight – 1:00 a.m.

When it comes to satirical observational comedy, Eugene Mirman is a wizard at finding humor in what ordinary people find mundane — or worse — try to eat. (What kind of an idiot tries to eat an observation, right?) Popularly known as the voice of “Gene Belcher” on the animated comedy Bob's Burgers, Mirman presents his first COMEDY CENTRAL one-hour special, “Eugene Mirman: An Evening of Comedy in a Fake Underground Laboratory." Find out how to keep your daughter safe with a simple neck tattoo, and what happens when a cable company repeatedly screws over Eugene. And if you know what a theremin is, you’ll be excited to know he stole Jimmy Page’s instrument and uses it in this special. Don’t miss Mirman’s inventive and hilarious hour premiering on Friday, December 14, at midnight on COMEDY CENTRAL.
