Two of the hottest young comedians Aziz Ansari and Amy Schumer will be headlining the second annual Oddball Fest at Aaron's Lakewood Amphitheatre October 4.
Schumer has been the "it" comedienne this year, receiving glowing press for her show Peabody Award-winning Comedy Central sketch show "Inside Amy Schumer" and her starring role in the upcoming film "Trainwreck," out July 17.
Ansari, who completed a successful run on NBC's "Parks & Recreation," has built a reputation as a smart, observational comic. He just wrote a book about relationships that delves into the science of it all called "Modern Romance: An Investigation."
Tickets for Oddball Fest go on sale July 10. I'll add more details when they come in terms of ticket prices.
