Radio personality and comedian Adam Carolla made a name for himself in the late ’90s as the co-host of the call-in program Loveline. After that show ended in 2005, he’s dabbled in acting and writing. He’s famous for his rants about “things that drive him crazy,” as it’s put in a press release announcing his upcoming performance on May 17 at the Agora Theatre.

“Carolla started broke and blue collar and has now been on the Hollywood scene for more than 20 years,” reads the press release. “Yet he’s still connected to the working-class guy he once was and delivers a raw and edgy, fish-out-of-water take on the world he lives in (but mostly disagrees with), telling all the stories, no matter who he offends — family, friends, or the famous.”

Tickets go on sale at noon on Friday, but a presale begins at 10 a.m. on Thursday. Use the code AGORA to buy tickets before they go on sale to the general public.
