Got New Year’s Eve plans in KC? Here are the parties, kid events and David Koechner

David Koechner will pull double duty during a Kansas City homecoming this weekend.

The Tipton, Missouri, native and Big Slick Celebrity Weekend co-host will appear at the Kansas City Improv, but in addition to doing a stand-up act he will present “‘The Office’ Trivia With Todd Packer.” Koechner, who played obnoxious paper salesman Todd Packer on “The Office,” will tell behind-the-scenes stories, answer questions and test the audience’s knowledge of the sitcom. The show will start at 7 p.m. Dec. 29 ($43).

Koechner will perform his stand-up act at 9:45 p.m. Dec. 29, 7 and 9:45 p.m. Dec. 30 and 8 p.m. Dec. 31 ($33). The shows were postponed from mid-December because Koechner was ill. Tickets for all three nights are available at improvkc.com.
