Producer and director Judd Apatow returns to standup at the Variety Playhouse

Filmmaker Judd Apatow has spent more than half his life making people laugh.

In fact, if you’ve seen a hilarious comedy in the last 28 years, Apatow may well have been involved with it. The producer, director, writer and comedian brings a sensibility to comedy – full of warmth, goofiness and willingness – to confront life’s toughest struggles.

His hits include “Freaks and Geeks,” “Superbad,” “Knocked Up,” “Bridesmaids” and “Anchorman,” along with many others. He’s also the author of two books and directed the documentary “May It Last: A Portrait of the Avett Brothers.”
