— Ken Jeong, who has starred in "The Hangover" and NBC's "Community," will headline the grand opening of a new comedy club opening in Cary's Parkside Town Commons.

Raleigh Improv will open Friday, Dec. 28 at 1224 Parkside Main St.

Actor and comedian Ken Jeong was raised in Greensboro. He graduated from Duke University before getting his medical degree from UNC at Chapel Hill. While he did practice medicine for a few years, he gave it up to pursue a career in acting and comedy.

Jeong was spotted earlier this year dancing and cheering on the Blue Devils at a Duke-UNC basketball game.

Jeong will perform Dec. 28 and 29 at Raleigh Improv.

Raleigh Improv's initial lineup also includes Dusty Slay, Whitney Cummings, Chris Kattan, Adam Devine, Arsenio Hall and Rita Rudner.

Tickets for all shows are currently available on Raleigh Improv's website.

The owners, which operate improv clubs throughout the country, are also planning a restaurant, Copper Blues Rock Pub and Kitchen, next door to the showroom. No word on when that restaurant will open.
