Comedy Central announced Jeff Dunham: I'm With Cupid, a new 1-hour comedy special filmed at the beautiful Straz Center in Tampa, FL. The special is slated to premiere Saturday, February 3rd at 8pm ET/PT on Comedy Central. With Valentine's Day just around the corner and love in the air at Comedy Central, Dunham is back for his 11th standup special. Bushwhacking their way through the topics of love, relationships, and all-things-Valentines are Dunham and his beloved dummy cohorts Walter, Bubba J, Peanut, Jose Jalapeño "on a steek!", and the suspiciously familiar 'new' guy, "Achamedes, Greek god of KEELER LOVE."
