Joel McHale

ISTHMUS PICK

Saturday, April 23, Orpheum Theater, 8 pm

From his days hosting The Soup to his starring role on the dearly departed sitcom Community, Joel McHale has spent a comedic lifetime mocking pop culture. His standup is no exception, as McHale deftly skewers whichever celebrity is flavor of the week, flashing a razor-sharp wit and knowing smugness without ever coming off as, for lack of a better term, a dick. Plus, this show will benefit Gilda’s Club, a cancer charity founded in memory of the late Gilda Radner. The only thing better than laughing is laughing for a cause.
