"Saturday Night Live" alumnus Rob Schneider has been working on a new stand-up show for the past year and will be bringing his show to the Hu Ke Lau in Chicopee this Friday (December 3rd) and the Wilbur Theatre on Saturday (December 4th) for multiple shows.

Schneider shared his unique brand of humor and progressive views in our in-depth interview.

Kenny Johnson has been in a ton of movies and TV shows over the last couple decades but he's currently best known for his roles as Detective Curtis 'Lemonhead' Lemansky in FX's "The Shield" and as Detective Hamilton 'Ham' Dewey in TNT's "Saving Grace". We were pleased to see Johnson reappear on TV in "Saving Grace" almost immediately after 'Lem' was dramatically assassinated by 'Shane' in "The Shield" and we've been more than pleasantly surprised by the quality of the show, its great writing, and superb performances.
