Comedian Eddie Griffin Coming To The El Paso Comic Strip
The El Paso Comic Strip has been bringing some big names in comedy to the El Paso area and Bart Reed has another huge name coming to the Sun City.
In the past few months, we ve seen Rob Schneider, D.L. Hughley, Chris Kattan, and more all stop by to make us laugh. And the laughs are needed, especially in such a crazy time. Thankfully, the El Paso Comic Strip isn t stopping anytime soon, bringing Greg Wilson later this month to perform and now another big name, Eddie Griffin.
Eddie Griffin is a comedian known for his roles in movies like Undercover Brother, Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigalow, and Deuce Bigalow: European Gigalow. He was also named one of Comedy Centrals Top 100 Greatest Stand-up Comedians of All Time. He also has comedy specials that have aired on Showtime.
Here’s Who Nico Looks Like with His Shaved Head
Local comedian Nico Adjemian was born balding. Not born bald; lots of babies are born bald. Balding. I’ve seen pictures of Nico as a kindergartener and he already had a receding hairline. A widow’s peak followed by Middle School and a comb-over by 9th grade.
Not too surprisingly, Nico took the advice of almost everyone in his life: he finally shaved his remaining hair off. The reactions have been mostly positive (his Mom is a notable hold-out).
Here are a few notable people Nico now sort of resembles with his shaved head.
Rob Schneider Performing at the El Paso Comic Strip In February
The laughs are back at the El Paso Comic Strip. Many businesses have reopened with new health and safety guidelines which have allowed El Pasoans to enjoy some of their favorite pre-pandemic activities, like watching a comedy show. The El Paso Comic Strip is bringing some great talent to the borderland for us to enjoy like Alycia Cooper and D.L. Hughley. Now, one of our favorite funny guys will be at the El Paso Comic Strip at the beginning of February- Rob Schneider.
Rob Schneider is a Saturday Night Live alum and starred in Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigalo, The Hot Chick, and more recently Grown Ups. In several Adam Sandler films, you hear Schneider yell you can do it! and the phrase has become famous. He s had some hilarious supporting roles as well, like Ula in 50 First Dates, the friendly delivery man in Big Daddy, the enthusiastic townie in The Waterboy, and many more.
Come Celebrate Nico’s Drive-by Birthday Party
Nico turns 33 this Tuesday, January 19th! We’re getting Nico a jumping balloon house which he’ll get to enjoy all morning long.
If you would like to come by for the festivities, Nico will exit the balloon house and hand you a piece of birthday cake and a Styrofoam cup full of Diet Canada Dry Ginger Ale!
We’re not asking for birthday gifts but if you DO decide to bring Nico something, we have to be perfectly, crystal clear about one thing: NO ILLICIT SUBSTANCES! Even if they’re “legal” in other states and even if it’s what Nico really, really wants please DO NOT bring him anything illegal. Nico is way too polite to turn down such a gift. Also, we have a lot of law enforcement that listen every day and that kind of high-profile bust would just be too much for them to pass up. So, for his own sake, NO WEED FOR NICO ON HIS BIRTHDAY.
