'Insomniac' Attell coming to Toledo

Comedian Dave Attell. MIKE CARANO Enlarge

You've seen comic Dave Attell on David Letterman, Comedy Central's Insomniac with Dave Attell, HBO specials, and his current Showtime series Dave's Old Porn, a Mystery Science Theater 3000 meets classic porn featuring Attell, other comics, and adult-film actors riffing on 1970s XXX movies.

Or maybe you've never seen him at all.

Either way, your opportunity to see the stand-up live is Saturday night with shows at 8 and 10:30 p.m. at Connxtions Comedy Club, 5319 Heatherdowns. Tickets are $25 and are available at 419-867-9041. Attell offered five reasons to The Blade to check out his show.

1. "I'm not in 3-D."

2. "You can drink while you watch me, you can drink while you watch the show."

3. "Comedy is better live than on TV. It's dirty."

4. "Plenty of parking."

5. "It's not a good first date, but it's a great last-date show."
