Nick Di Paolo

Nick Di Paolo is a big enough name to fill a Twin Cities theatre, but he's opting for an intimate setting for his next local performances.

Di Paolo will tape a concert special on Nov. 11 and 12 at the Acme Comedy Co.

DiPaolo, who received an Emmy nomination for writing for "The Chris Rock Show," has had three Comedy Central specials and is a frequent guest on the Comedy Central roasts. He also had a 2011 Showtime special.

$20 tickets go on sale Wednesday. Call 612-338-6393 or visit acmecomedycompany.com
