Funnyman Robin Williams will headline Seattle's Paramount Theatre for two shows at 8 p.m. on Dec. 5 and 6, Live Nation announced today. His Weapons of Self-Destruction tour will be William's first cross-country trek since 2002.

“It’s an election year, which is basically Christmas for stand-up comics,” Williams is quoted as saying in a related press release. “And I figured I should get my ass on the road while the Shrub is still in office. A lot has happened in the world and in my life since I last did this six years ago and there’s no better thrill and no better therapy than getting on that high-wire in front of a live audience.”

Tickets are $50 to $95 and will go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday (Sept. 19). Click the Live Nation like above or check Ticketmaster for further details.

KQMV-FM (Movin' 92.5) just sent over details for their third annual House Party, a free concert that will bring Nelly, Tone Loc, Baby Bash and the Sugar Hill Gang to Seattle's Paramount Theatre on Nov. 8.

Got a call from Girl Trouble camp over the weekend letting me know they're opening the Sonics' big Halloween homecoming show at the Paramount. Two bands that have defined Tacoma garage rock over the years? Hearing "He's Waitin'" and "My Hometown" in the same night? How killer is that?
