Jonathan "JP" Perry at Cité des Arts

Working in the thick of Louisiana's thoroughly—how should we say it . . . dodgy?—world of politics builds a thick skin, and if you're lucky, a top-notch sense of humor. Ask Kaplan-raised comedian Jonathan "JP" Perry all about it; he's served as a police officer, city councilman, assistant District Attorney, State Representative, and State Senator. Now, he's bringing his twenty years of experience laughing it off to the stage at Cité des Arts. 7:30 pm. $25. citedesarts.org.
