O …
King Jackass is coming to town Sept. 29 to tickle some ribs. Steve-O is a stunt, gross-out comedian that rose to fame on MTV’s Jackass for breaking bones and squashing nuts in the pursuit of laughs. He’s survived all that and now tours as a stand up comic with a fierce following of bruhs. Check him out Thursday, 7:30 p.m. at the Hu Ke Lau on Memorial Avenue in Chicopee. Tickets are $27 and there’s no word on whether the front few rows are snot, blood, teeth, spit zones or not. Show is 21-plus.
