Dane Cook headlines arenas. That's what Dane Cook does, because Dane Cook is at the top of the standup comedy food chain. But what if, instead of arenas, Dane Cook headlined sheds? Could a comic headline an outdoor amphitheater?
We'll find out on Oct. 24, when Cook is slated to headline the 1-800-ASK-GARY Amphitheatre in Tampa. According to Live Nation, tickets are $35-$90.45, and they go on sale Friday.
This is part of a four-date swing through Florida; Cook is also performing in West Palm Beach, Tallahassee and Gainesville.
One thing we comedy fans must insist on: Cook must, absolutely MUST, write a 15-minute bit on the name "1-800-ASK-GARY Amphitheatre." Call us, Dane, we'll help you write it. It'll kill in this town.
Halloween at Jannus Live
Jannus Live has loaded up on concerts for its first-ever Halloween weekend under new ownership.
Rusted Root, which played a free concert for a packed house this spring, will return to Jannus Live on Oct. 28, the venue announced Tuesday. Tickets are $15 in advance.
And then, in keeping with Jannus Live's desire to book as many top hip-hop acts as possible, Method Man and Redman will take the stage on Oct. 29. Tickets are $18.50 in advance.
Throw in the Script, which is scheduled to perform at Jannus on Oct. 30, and you're looking at a fang-tastic, spook-tacular, vamped-up weekend of music.
We will pay $50 cash money to any of these artists if they cover Monster Mash.
VH1 announces lineup for '11 cruise
