Denver DNC Shows?

[rdemint]

Does anyone know of any comedy shows going on in Denver during the DNC?

I've already got tickets for Eugene Mirman/Michael Showalter. I also see Chris Tucker is doing something, Bill Maher and Lewis Black, too.

Oh, and Biz Markie is supposed to be here, so that is awesome.

to be honest, I would be a little afraid to go down town right now. I have some friends who are working on a doc about the convention, and they all say that the protests are completely crazy.

I spent most of this week downtown (where I work) and had no problems whatsoever. The protesters were a minor inconvenience, but only when their masses ended up shutting down the shuttle service. I just walked around. No big deal. A guy I know never left his office during the day because he was afraid of getting accidently maced if he walked near a protest. I left my office most of the day and ended up meeting a ton of celebrities and having a lot of fun wandering the crowds. I didn't even have credentials to get into the real events at the Pepsi Center. I just hung out along 16th.

Oh, and I met Biz Markie.
