Comedian Doug Benson has a beard, smokes lots of weed (he even starred in Super High Me), and sits on a throne while interrupting people in the TV show The Benson Interruption. Sounds like a charmer, huh? Well, he kind of is. Just check out some of his Tweets: “They are playing very romantic music at the Whole Foods today. I might have to fuck a bottle of coconut water,” “Kelly Rippa gives me a life boner,” and “The thing I’ll miss the most about Vegas? @SUSHISAMBA!!! Good thing there’s one in Miami!” Now that fans are flocking to Sushi Samba on Lincoln Road in anticipation of Benson’s arrival, it’s time to announce they can hear more profound proverbs from the man this Wednesday. At 7:30 and 10 p.m., he’ll perform at Colony Theatre during the sixth annual South Beach Comedy Festival, running Wednesday through March 5. Oh, and here’s one last Tweet: “It’s cool if you don’t wanna hook up, because I can just go home and fuck a shoe.” Ah, what a charmer.
Wed., March 2, 7:30 & 10 p.m., 2011
