Stand-up comedian Steve Rannazzisi, best known for his role as Kevin on the FX comedy show “The League,”performed at the McDonald Theatre Wednesday, Feb. 27 to a full house. Helping to open for Rannazzisi was the University of Oregon’s improv group, Absolute Improv, who welcomed the audience with two improv exercises.

The show, put on by Raven’s Flight Creative, lasted a little under two hours and focused mainly on Rannazzisi’s family. Rannazzisi, who has two young sons, a 4-year-old and a 10-month-old, made jokes about the difficulties of parenting (“I stepped on a Lego and wanted to murder my entire family,” he said), and the occasional joys of going on a solo-vacation. He discussed pot-brownies, pizza delivery, masturbation, how to pronounce his last name (rah-nah-ZEE-see), marriage and his newly grown beard, all overlaid with generous cussing. His topics and attitude reflected Louis C.K.-style stand-up, layered with sarcasm and details into his family life, which was something the audience appreciated.

Knowing that (according to him) about 70 percent of the audience was only there because they watched “The League,” Rannazzisi briefly talked about his character, as well as being confronted by embarrassing  fans of the show while grocery shopping with his son.

The remaining stand-up, however, was all about Rannazzisi. The comedian, who got his start on television with “Punk’d” and ABC’s “Big Day,” taught the audience last night that, while he may have gained national attention for his portrayal on “The League,” he maintains a solid talent in his comedic origins, stand-up.
