Victory laugh
In 2007, when MTV’s sketch comedy and surprise hit “Human Giant” was just underway, Aziz Ansari seemed the likely breakout star among the trio at the show’s helm. His trajectory in the following two years would prove this—paying comedic dues in the Judd Apatow flick Funny People, cropping up on fan favorite “Scrubs,” and starring alongside twitch-happy Jesse Eisenberg in 30 Minutes or Less. But it’s his role as the perpetually underachieving entrepreneur Tom Haverford in “Parks and Recreation” that shot Ansari to the level of recognition he brings with his Buried Alive touring routine to venues across the nation. Heck, he’s even driving sports cars in dangerous circles with the likes of Kanye West and Jay-Z.
Sunday 3/31 $39, 7pm. The Paramount Theater, 215 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. 979-1333.

She has performed music since she was a child, but this will be her first opera performance. Opera singers “have so much more emotions in their voice,” she says, and “[as deaf actors], I think we will be able to bring that out through our beautiful ASL.” courtesy of VHO.](https://www.c-ville.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Amber-Zion-My-Sister-in-the-House-320x170.jpg)
