DETROIT – The creators of “I Think You Should Leave” and “Detroiters” are coming to Detroit.

It is currently unknown if it will also be the night that the skeletons come back to life.

Tickets will go on sale Friday, Feb. 9 at 10 a.m.

More information on the event can be found on the official 313 Presents website.

Robinson, a native of Clarkston, toured with Second City Detroit before joining Second City Chicago. He worked on Saturday Night Live from 2012-16, which is where he met Kanin. Alongside Detroit native Sam Richardson, they made “Detroiters,” a sitcom shot entirely in Metro Detroit. They hired more than 200 people from Detroit to work on the show. It aired for only two seasons because none of you appreciated it and decided not to watch it.

I’m a little salty about the cancelation still.

After “Detroiters” was canceled, Kanin and Robinson partnered again for the popular sketch comedy series, “I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson.” Many of the sketches were written (and rejected) when the duo worked at SNL. The series features cringe comedy, surreal humor and a good steering wheel that doesn’t fly off while you’re driving.

It has continually gotten weirder every season and has won three Emmys.
