The iconic comedian will, according to the press release, “perform his newest stand-up routine” at the Miller High Life Theatre on Dec. 16, with tickets going on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. next Friday, Sept. 22.

His more recent projects cover just about every form of mass media, from movies (Comedian, Bee Movies) to books (Seinlanguage) and back to TV again (Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee).
