Comedians Mike Birbiglia and Michael Ian Black will perform at the Collins Center for the Arts on Oct. 24.

Hot on the heels of the Sept. 23 Gabriel Iglesias show, Student Entertainment announced today that comedians Michael Ian Black and Mike Birbiglia will perform in the Collins Center for the Arts on Oct. 24 at 7 p.m.

Birbiglia has starred in three Comedy Central specials and is currently touring a one-man off-Broadway show, “My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend,” which won the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Solo Show.

Black, an often-deadpan comic known for his various sketch groups and TV series, recently published two books: “America, You Sexy Bitch: A Love Letter to Freedom,” which he co-authored with Meghan McCain, and a memoir called “You’re Not Doing it Right: Tales of Marriage, Sex, Death, and Other Humiliations.”

Tickets will go on sale Oct. 1 and will be available at the CCA box office or online at collinscenterforthearts.com. Tickets are $20 for students and $35 for the general public. More information is available on the Facebook event page.
