While The Grand is home to its fair share of musicians, stage artists, and other great performers, there's nothing quite like a good belly laugh - especially when the temperatures are dropping. To that end, The Grand finds itself chock-full of comedy in the month of November. Less than a week after the stand-up portion of this season's IN THE SPOTLIGHT had theatergoers roaring at the baby grand, two wildly-divergent funnymen - the impulsive Sinbad and the irreverent Stephen Lynch - arrive in Wilmington intent on having audiences in stitches.
Ranked by Comedy Central as one of the top 100 standup performers of all time, unpredictable comedian Sinbad is celebrated for his humorous take on life's painful trials and embarrassing tribulations. Sinbad's lively storytelling is noted for its take-no-prisoners approach, as the long-time actor and seasoned performer will often work the audience's own awkward experiences into his punchlines. Sinbad pops into The Grand on Friday, November 20 at 8PM. Tickets are $36-$43. This show is sponsored by DuPont.
A self-proclaimed "musician trapped in the body of a comedian," Stephen Lynch is known for unique stage performances that seamlessly blend tongue-in-cheek music and stand-up comedy. The ever-flippant Lynch, touring in support of his sophomore studio effort 3 Balloons, has earned a fiercely loyal fan base thanks to a slew of live shows, four CD releases, two “Comedy Central Presents” specials, and a starring role in the stage adaptation of the '80s-themed romantic comedy The Wedding Singer. Stephen Lynch brings both his humor and guitar to The Grand on Saturday, November 21 at 8PM. Tickets are $32-$35.
If you're looking for a few good laughs to ring in the holiday season, then The Grand is the place to be. Get your tickets now by calling The Grand's Box Office at 302-652-5577 or 800-37-GRAND, or online at TicketsAtTheGrand.org - and experience the excitement of comedy at The Grand!
