Hell Yes Fest: There's nothing Eric Andre won't do

Though the event might not be safe or coherent and will probably include full-frontal nudity, The Arcade recommends seeing Eric Andre perform at 9 p.m. Monday at One Eyed Jacks. Tickets cost $12 at the door.

Eric Andre skillfully walks the line between insanity and genius. His cable network show on Adult Swim, “The Eric Andre Show,” is a chaotic mix of incriminating hidden camera shenanigans and awkward faux interviews. He once explained it as, “pee and poop mixed together,” with a little “To Catch a Predator.” For example, Andre previously broke into a jewelry store, smashed its display cases, stole jewelry and got tackled by a security guard for his show.

Andre has been featured on “The Jeselnik Offensive,” where he set off fireworks mid-show, nearly giving a stage manager a heart attack. He also did a live interview on G4’s “Attack of the Show,” where he showed off his boxers that had a picture of a penis on them, before stripping naked and yelling “Nobody cares!” Where Andre goes madness follows, and his show will certainly be no exception.
