3. Aziz Ansari brings 'Buried Alive Tour' to Cincinnati
Most know him as Tom Haverford from "Parks and Recreation", and some know him from his appearances in films. Rolling Stone named him the “funniest man alive under 30.” Aziz Ansari is back for a second hour-long stand-up special.
With his self-deprecating, quirky act, the comedian can always land laughs even from the stiffest crowds.

Headlining is the sweaty Funk troupe The Dynamites, featuring retro Soul shouter Charles Walker.
