Arlington Cinema ‘N’ Drafthouse lures eyes from the silver screen to the stage with live showcases of local and national talent inside the heart of their movie theater. Wrapping up the venue’s schedule of live January acts, comedian K-von offers crowds refuge from wintery winds and panhandling snowmen during a rollicking three-day set. As the star of MTV’s hit hidden-camera show Disaster Date, K-von has already covertly tunneled into America’s collective funny bone by disguising himself as a medley of outrageous characters. A recent two-year tour also introduced comedy clubs across the country to K-von’s riotous standup style, which cuts into pop culture and major news events with a keen observational eye, a sharp-witted tongue, and a microphone that doubles as a pizza slicer. Having opened for such jesters as Jamie Kennedy and Maz Jobrani, K-von’s steady ascension to slapstick stardom has been driven by multiple inspirations, including David Letterman and George Carlin.
