Over 150 stand up comedians, and Andy is one of the headliners!!! That's awesome!!!
Andy's coming back to Comedy Central!!!
Here's an old shot of Andy from his early standup bit on Comedy Central:

So Andy's scheduled for 8 PM at Town Hall on November 8th!!!!
He's calling it "Andy Samberg and Friends Live from Town!" You know what that means? It means that we'll see Akiva, Jorma, and maybe even other friends (like Chester, Seth Meyers, Bill Hader, Fred Armisen, or Justin Timberlake).
After all, Justin and Fred appeared at the MTV Movie Awards (and Bill Hader was in a promo, and Bill and Seth do a ton of stuff with Andy). Can't wait to see what Andy Samberg and TLI cook up!!!
Enjoy!
