Boston's own Dane Cook coming home for weekend shows

IT WAS GREAT. SOME MULLED WINE. I LOVE THE MULLED WINE. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR SOME LAUGHS THIS WEEKEND, BOSTON’S OWN DANE COOK IS IN TOWN. THE COMEDIAN HOSTING TWO SHOWS AT THE WILBUR THEATER. I GOT TO CATCH UP WITH DANE AND TALK ABOUT HIS 30 YEAR STAND UP CAREER AND WHAT HE ENJOYS THE MOST ABOUT COMING HOME. YOU’RE COMING BACK TO BOSTON, WRAPPING UP THE PERFECTLY SHATTERED TOUR WITH TWO SHOWS AT THE FAVORITE WORDS, BY THE WAY, MY FAVORITE WORDS. BACK TO BOSTON ANYTIME. THAT’S PART OF THE LEXICON. IT’S VERY EXCITING. YEAH. WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT COMING HOME TO BOSTON? OH, QUITE LITERALLY. LOOK OUT INTO THE CROWD AND SOMETIMES SEE PEOPLE THAT I HAVEN’T SEEN IN IN A LOT OF YEARS. KIND OF STILL ROOTING YOU ON AND POINTING LIKE, THAT’S ME. I THINK THE THING THAT BOSTON ALWAYS BRINGS OUT OF YOU WHEN YOU COME BACK IS, IS THAT SENSE OF NEWNESS. THIS IS WHERE I WAS BRAND NEW. THIS IS WHERE, YOU KNOW, EVERYBODY GAVE ME A SHOT BEFORE ANYBODY ELSE KIND OF JUMPED ON A BANDWAGON. THIS WAS THE PLACE THAT GAVE YOU THE TOOLS AND WAS LIKE, ALL RIGHT, WE’LL HELP YOU BUILD THE WHEEL HERE. LET’S SEE IF WE CAN GET YOU, YOU KNOW, UP AND OUT OF THE, UM, YOU KNOW, THE, THE, THE BOONIES GIGS BEFORE YOU CAN START GETTING INTO SOME, YOU KNOW, REAL, LEGITIMATE. IT SHOWS ON A WEEKEND. SO IT ALWAYS FOR ME BRINGS OUT THAT SAME FEELING OF I WANT TO CRUSH IT FOR MY HOMETOWN CROWD SO THAT THEY KNOW I’M LEAVING TO COME HOME. PERFECTLY SHATTERED. LET’S TALK ABOUT THE TOUR. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? HOW DID IT GO? PERFECTLY SHATTERED. I THOUGHT THE THE TITLE REALLY YOU KNOW, ENCAPSULATED BOTH. WHAT WAS HILARIOUS ABOUT THE SHOW. AND THEN, OF COURSE, THERE’S ALWAYS THAT LITTLE THING THAT YOU WANT THAT’S GOT LIKE THE PULP, THE, YOU KNOW, THE KIND OF THE GRIT AND FOR ME, THE GRIT IS LIKE, THIS IS THREE DECADES DOING STAND UP COMEDY FROM THE NIGHT THAT I, YOU KNOW, DID MY FIRST OPEN MIC IN CAMBRIDGE AT CATCH A RISING STAR ON A RANDOM YOU KNOW MONDAY NIGHT AND SO PERFECTLY SHATTERED IS SAYING ALL THE THINGS THAT BROKE APART THAT I THOUGHT YOU KNOW PUT ME A MILLION MILES OFF COURT OFF COURSE IT’S IT SHATTERED PERFECTLY. THIS IS EXACTLY WHERE I’D WANT TO BE AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE AND CAREER. AND, YOU KNOW, SHARING ALL THE THE PERSPECTIVE WITH HUMOR. WELL, DANE, YOU’VE GOT TWO SHOWS FRIDAY NIGHT, SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE WILBUR. WE’RE EXCITED TO HAVE YOU BACK HERE IN THE CITY OF BOSTON TO CELEBRATE THE END OF THIS TOUR. THANK YOU SO MUCH, BOSTON.
