Dustin Nickerson

Dustin Nickerson at Mic Drop Comedy Detroit

Marriage, parenting and daily frustration: Dustin Nickerson has enough material to keep a household busy. His comedy finds the ridiculous side of responsibilities that usually arrive with no instructions and very little patience. Friday's early performance offers a way to laugh about the things waiting at home.

His special Overwhelmed and podcast Don’t Make Me Come Back There give fans ways into that perspective. The subjects are personal without requiring you to know his whole story. You can be curious about the comic, recognize the territory or arrive with somebody who already follows his work. There’s an easy reason to make the plan together.

Nickerson’s everyday-guy approach is the attraction. Parenting and relationships carry expectations, annoyances and plenty of material for a comedian willing to look closely. An outing built around that point of view lets you spend some time with the funny side of subjects that can otherwise take themselves very seriously. Come for the personality as much as the premise.

Leave the responsibilities for tomorrow. Make Friday an early comedy night with Dustin Nickerson and the person who understands exactly why you need it.
