Ed Asner, who's most famous for playing newsman Ed Asner in the Mary Tyler Moore show, is performing at the Anvil Centre Theatre April 27 and 28.

A Hollywood legend will soon take to the stage at Anvil Centre Theatre.

The theatre is hosting an exclusive two-night engagement of A Man and His Prostrate by Ed Weinberger starring Ed Asner, an Emmy Award-winning actor known for roles on Mary Tyler Moore and Lou Grant. A Man and His Prostate comes to New West on April 27 and 28 at 7:30 p.m., with these being Asner’s only B.C. performances in a show billed as being funny with a serious subject matter.

“Based on a true story, a man discovers his inner self both literally and figuratively,” said a press release about the show. “A near tragedy experienced by the writer is masterly transformed into a one-man comedy performed by Asner as he goes through the journey of preparing for a surgery he needs but doesn’t want.”

Tickets are $75 each plus services charge, and are available at 604-521-5050. These are the only two shows he'll be performing in British Columbia.
