BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) – Baton Rouge comedy fans are getting ready for a night of nonstop laughs as comedian and actor Desi Banks brings his “Your Favorite Cousin Tour” to the Raising Cane’s River Center Theatre Friday at 7 p.m.
Known for his viral social media skits and quick wit, Banks has become one of the biggest names in comedy entertainment, building an audience of more than 19 million followers across platforms.
