Nick Thune has built a career around pointing out the absurd and hilarious lurking in everyday life. His deadpan, conversational delivery is accompanied by gentle, lulling guitar — a style reminiscent of comedians like Zach Galifianakis and Mitch Hedberg — and Thune is especially adept at the art of one liners. Local audiences can laugh along when Thune performs four shows at The Altamont Theatre this weekend.
