Armisen was a drummer, guitarist, and multi-instrumentalist who worked with bands such as the Blue Man Group and his punk band Trenchmouth before his career as a comedian and actor took off. 

His previous Netflix comedy special, “Standup for Drummers,” concentrated on drummers, and now he’s focusing on us low-enders with his upcoming residency at San Francisco’s Sketchfest called “Comedy For Bass Players, but Everyone is Welcome.” The three-night event will include a special guest bass player whose identity will not be revealed until the performance.
