A&O Productions is proud to announce our 2010 Winter Speaker, comedian Tracy Morgan. He’ll be bringing his stand-up performance to Northwestern on Saturday, February 6th at 7.30pm in the Pick-Staiger Concert Hall.

Update (2/1): A&O is pleased to announce that we have been able to secure a limited number of additional tickets, and will be placing them on sale at noon Saturday, the day of the show, at the physical Norris Box Office.  Tickets will be 1 per person and Wildcards will be checked both at time of sale and at the door of the venue.  Please check this space for more details in coming days.

Tickets for A&O Presents an Evening With Tracy Morgan are now sold out. If you have any questions or concerns, please get in contact with us at aoproductions@u.northwestern.edu.  If you’ve had issues with the Norris Box Office online ticketing system, please e-mail nbo@u.northwestern.edu.  Keep an eye on this space for more information about the show.

We apologize to any student who was unable to get a ticket to this show.  A&O works hard to ensure that the maximum number of students possible are able to attend every event we produce, but are limited by campus venue selection and availability. If you have concerns please get in contact with us.

A&O Productions is bringing up-and-coming comedian Daniel Tosh to campus on Thursday, May 21st. The show starts at 7:30pm and doors open at 7pm. Tosh got his start performing on The Late Show with David Letterman and has released an album through Comedy Central Records, “True Stories I Made Up.” He’s recently been given his own Comedy Central series, Tosh.0, which will premiere this summer. Tosh has the wit, absurdity, and confidence to say anything he wants on stage. Start off your three day weekend right (thanks, Memorial Day!) by getting some laughs in at Pick-Staiger. Tickets go on sale online this Saturday (May 16th) at 10am and cost $10 for undergrads and $15 for grad students, faculty, and staff. You can purchase 2 tickets per NetID. Remember, A&O reserves the right to check WildCards at the door.

Norris Box Office ticketing site: nbo.northwestern.edu. Please make an account before Saturday to ensure the quickest process.

A&O is very proud to announce our next Spring Quarter event, Mike Wilbon of ESPN’s Pardon The Interruption. Passes will be available Monday April 20th at noon for free at the Norris Box Office.  

The show will be on May 1st in Coon Forum in Levrone Hall.  Doors at 7pm, show at 7:30pm.  Any seats not filled at 7:20pm will begin to be filled with those without passes.

While A&O is always excited to be producing a popular event such as “An Evening With Demetri Martin,” it’s always extremely disappointing when there are those who would like to attend but can’t get a hold of a ticket for the event.  A&O has always made an effort to allow as many students as possible to attend our events, and has worked hard in the past few days to free up a small number of additional tickets to be released to students.

The tickets will be available starting at noon on Friday, February 20th, using the same online ticketing system as used in the first round of ticketing.  Students will be able to buy 1 ticket per NetID, and will be unable to purchase another ticket if they got one during the first round.
