As the mastermind behind classics like The 40-Year-Old Virgin<\/em>, Knocked Up<\/em> and Freaks and Geeks<\/em>, Judd Apatow helped create the voice for modern comedy. Now, Madisonians will have a chance to hear that voice in person.<\/p>\n

Apatow will be performing<\/a> at The Comedy Club on State Nov. 2-4 for a little pre-election stand-up, it was announced this morning. Since Donald Trump\u2019s baffling ascension to the presidency, Apatow has become increasingly politically outspoken, trading dick jokes and pop culture references for impassioned commentary<\/a>. His stop here is part of a midterms mini-tour Apatow has planned. He will also perform at Milwaukee\u2019s Turner Hall on election night, Nov. 6, and in Minneapolis the following evening.<\/p>\n

As a filmmaker, Apatow has had a hand in pretty much every comedy you quote incessantly:\u00a0Anchorman<\/em>, Superbad<\/em>, Pineapple Express<\/em>, Bridesmaids<\/em>, Trainwreck<\/em>, The Big Sick<\/em> and HBO\u2019s Girls<\/em> are just a few highlights of Apatow\u2019s lengthy filmography.<\/p>\n

Tickets go on sale publicly on Friday, Sept. 7 at 10 a.m., but those with an email list pre-sale code will be able to purchase their tickets on Sept. 6 at the same time. You can sign up for the Comedy Club\u2019s mailing list here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
