Comic Dane Cook will make his Fresno debut in October.
Cook’s “Isolated Incident: Global Thermo Comedy Tour” will play Save Mart Center on Oct. 23, with tickets going on sale at 10 a.m. Friday. They cost $31.75, $61.75 and $101.75.
Cook, 37, leapt to stand-up fame in 2003 behind his comedy album “Harmful If Swallowed,” ensuing cable specials and a feverish online following.
After his stand-up career took off, Cook turned toward movies, snagging starring roles in “Employee of the Month,” “Good Luck Chuck” and “My Best Friend’s Girl.”
Tickets will be available at the Save Mart Center box office, at Ticketmaster locations, including many Save Mart supermarkets, online at ticketmaster.com or by calling (800) 745-3000.
