Comedian Jasper Redd

Comedian Jasper Redd ("Conan", "Comedians of Comedy")

Like oil and water, unflappable cool and outrageous quirk don't mix -- except when they do in the person of Jasper Redd, one of the nation's hottest stand-up stars. With an act that combines polished oratory, idiosyncratic timing and ridiculous content, Redd is hilarious and a little awe-inspiring to behold: Who else could summon so much eloquence and rhetorical fervor ... over the mysterious origins of Grimace, the milk-shake guzzling denizen of McDonaldland? Redd has been seen on HBO's "Def Comedy Jam", NBC's "Late Night With Conan O'Brien" and his own "Comedy Central presents" half-hour special. Now Redd brings his incredibly sly social commentary to the Arlington Improv stage.
