Kevin Smith tickets are now available and can be bought or sold online at StubHub.com. In the early ‘90s, when the acerbic slacker became the template for all pop-cultural heroes, Kevin Smith was hailed as the inevitable: The Rise of the Nerd. Bringing an unabashed love for popcorn films, science-fiction and geeky ephemera, his debut announced him as a talent with a unique voice. Using sarcasm and absurd humor to lampoon cultural mores, Smith’s career seemed made. These days, his reception is much cooler, but it’s still undeniable that he has a down-to-earth point of view that belies his blue collar New Jersey upbringing. His angry, sarcastic rants have leapt from the screen to the stage as he’s added stand-up comic and storyteller to his resume. Kevin Smith tickets to these live shows sell as well as some of his films. In addition to his stand-up and film careers, he runs a production company (ViewAskew) and a comic book store. Below is a quick run-down of the essentials when it comes to Kevin Smith’s movies. Clerks, 1994 The movie that launched Smith’s career. With its aimless plot, pop-culture obsessed characters, and outrageous humor, it may seem—well, derivative today. But that’s only because plenty of modern films owe a heavy debt to the style of humor that Smith opened the door for. Clerks hasn’t held up well over the years, but it’s still Smith at his best, with characters throwing around zingers that are still funny today. Some of the film’s most classic bits—like Randal’s obscene tirades in front of his customers, or the "36 dicks" dialogue still earn big laughs. Chasing Amy, 1997 Proving he could write romance and drama along with comedy, Smith offered this underappreciated gem in the late ‘90s about a guy who falls for a lesbian, who’s willing to indulge him in a relationship, but ultimately turns back to women. It’s both funny and heart-breaking, and interesting for die-hard Smith fans, who will be able to spot references to his other movies within this one. An Evening with Kevin Smith/An Evening with Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder These two taped live stand-up shows with Kevin Smith capture him at his best.
