Van Andel Arena (130 West Fulton, Grand Rapids)

Whether you love him or hate him, Dane Cook is not going anywhere, so you better get used to him. The comedian hit it big with his comedy CDs, and did film on the side in order to fraternize with some Jessicas (Simpson and Alba, to be exact). Here’s your chance to see him when he makes his stop at Van Andel Arena on Oct. 16. Visit revuewm.com to win tickets.
