In a Nutshell

Founding cast member of In Living Color and Booty Call star Tommy Davidson removes filter for a no-holds-barred set of standup

The Fine Print

Laughter has healing power, especially after you've watched a sad film or seen a sad person fall down. Laugh at a professional with this GrouponLive deal to see Tommy Davidson at the Wilbur Theatre. For $15, you get one ticket for floor-, mezzanine-, or balcony-section seating on Friday, January 18, at 7:30 p.m. (up to a $31 value, including all fees). Seating location subject to availability. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Multitalented actor, comedian, and singer Tommy Davidson introduced himself to the public as one of the founding cast members of In Living Color, going mug for mug with such rubber-faced comedy legends as Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx, and the Wayans family. The mid-'90s saw Davidson's transition from the small screen to the big screen as he starred in such blockbusters as Woo, Booty Call, and Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, and his high-energy performances earned him three standup specials on Showtime. The animated laugh-magnet continues to build on his comedic legacy with a live set in the same club that's hosted renowned jokesters Lewis Black, Gilbert Gottfried, and Jim Breuer. On Wilbur Theatre’s historic stage, Davidson discards all filters and pulls no punches as he pontificates on heavy issues of race, class, and proper brick-laying techniques for traditional comedy stages.

Wilbur Theatre

A theater on the National Register of Historic Places, the Wilbur Theatre is now a premier venue for comedy and music. When it was built in 1914, the architect Clarence H. Blackall designed its porticos and brick façade with inspiration drawn from American Colonial architecture, characterized by a Federal Revival style that included powdered wigs hanging over every doorway. "The auditorium is in its chaste way," architectural historian Douglas Tucci is quoted as saying on the theater's website, "the handsomest of any Boston playhouse."

The Groupon Guide to: Being Too Big for Your Britches

No one likes people who are boastful—especially if they can’t back it up with substance. Consult this helpful guide to find out if you are too big for your britches:

  • Does your mouth write checks your butt can’t cash?
  • Is the volume of your bark disproportionate to the incapacitating power of your bite?
  • Do people condescendingly affix “mister” to the front of your name?
  • Are you all bluster and no muster?
  • Has anyone ever held you in place by affixing their palm against the top of your head while their abdomen stayed just out of reach of your windmilling fists?
  • Do you have to constantly pull up your trousers because they’re all that’s left of your father, a husky fighter pilot whose last words to you were “I have to go away for a while, champ”?

How can you tell if you’re too big for your britches? This guide can help you out.
