SUMMARY:Comedy Grotto at Flat Burger Society presents Eliot Chang
DESCRIPTION:Eliot Chang has been seen on his own Comedy Central half hour specials\, as a frequent guest on E!’s “Chelsea Lately”\, on Showtime comedy specials\, and he has received millions of views on his own YouTube channel: http://www.YouTube.com/EliotChangOfficial\n\n“In a comedic landscape that is often wrought with sarcasm\, self deprecation\, and cynicism\, I have to say that Eliot Chang is a welcome relief! His point of view is honest and real\, yet Eliot’s approach is marked by a fun positive energy that is genuine and refreshing. (That is something that sets him apart – the fact that he is still funny with this attitude and energy that other people try to put forth and it comes off as an act). He’s simply fun to watch and makes me laugh.” – JoAnn Grigioni\, VP Talent\, Comedy Central\n\nOriginally from New York City and now based in Los Angeles\, Eliot has toured in almost every state in America and parts of Europe and Asia. He is also an actor and improviser\, having studied improv in New York at the Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB) and then with Armando Diaz at The Magnet Theater.\n\nThis Comedy Grotto show will include a host and feature comedian for a full evening of comedy. The lineup is subject to change without notice. There are no refunds for the show unless the venue cancels the event. This is an adult comedy show\, all attendees should be 18+ years of age.\n\nDoors open at 5 pm\, showtime is at 8 pm. Please arrive at least an hour prior to showtime if you want dinner as part of your evening. Click here to purchase tickets!
