In a Nutshell

Popular indie comic of Mr. Show and Comedians of Comedy fame channels his heavy-metal nerd rage in an evening of standup

The Fine Print

Like a good philosophy professor, a comedian delivers sage observations with pithy anecdotes, and is used to schooling drunks. Enjoy an existential laugh with this GrouponLive deal to see Brian Posehn at The Abbey Pub. For $14, you get one ticket for general-admission floor seating on Saturday, February 9, at 8 p.m. (up to a $24.35 value, including all fees). Doors open at 7 p.m.

Brian Posehn has many ways to describe his startling appearance. He’s compared himself to Frankenstein’s monster, a yeti, and a sasquatch while claiming he’s “not a guy you would want to see coming out of the woods carrying a bag.” For the casual comedy fan, Brian’s fuzzy mug, sardonic delivery, and vertical fortitude are instantly recognizable from his string of mainstream TV roles in Just Shoot Me, Seinfeld, and Friends. But for legions of self-professed “comedy nerds,” Brian Posehn is a household name. From his 28-episode stint on the highly influential series Mr. Show with Bob and David to The Sarah Silverman Program, the Comedians of Comedy tour with fellow former niche comics Patton Oswalt and Zach Galifianakis, and even an appearance at The Gathering of the Juggalos, Posehn has developed a fervent following for his deprecating wit and hardcore metal attitude. Behind the mic, the genteel giant releases his pent-up love for pop culture, Satan, and comic books (including his recent gig co-writing Marvel’s Deadpool) as he fills The Abbey Pub with the awkward sound of devil-horned hands clapping.

The Abbey Pub

As the sound of live music perfumes the air, The Abbey Pub crafts a menu populated by Irish and American pub fare, complete with burgers, finger food, and custom pizzas. Next door, the venue hosts hometown and traveling bands that play genres ranging from indie rock and blues to dog-whistle symphonies. On the restaurant side, patrons can sip on domestic and imported brews, as well as a wealth of Irish whiskey, scotch, and bourbon, as their fingers wander to an appetizer of curry fries or a tower of sourdough pretzels. Sandwiches, burgers, and entrees such as bangers and mash satisfy bar-goers at dinner, and brunch on the weekends wakes up bellies emitting cartoon Zs from their navels. Fourteen flat screen TVs and a 15-foot projector incite cheers and a raw spectrum of emotion with telecasts of rugby, soccer, and major national sporting events.
