( CNN ) -- Comedian Jay Leno 's plan to hold a free concert for the jobless of Detroit , Michigan , drew criticism from a politician in the city . A Detroit politician believes Jay Leno should change the location of his free show for the city 's unemployed . Detroit City Councilwoman Martha Reeves likes the idea , but she said the `` Tonight Show '' host needs to change the location . `` When I heard Jay Leno say Detroit is one of his favorite places and he 's going to do a free concert for the people laid off , to people who do n't have any money right now , given the economic state we 're all in , I was elated , '' Reeves said . `` Then he said Auburn Hills ... and that 's not Detroit . '' Auburn Hills is a well-to-do suburb of Detroit , but is located in Oakland County , which has had its share of economic troubles as well . The free comedy show -- called `` Jay 's Comedy Stimulus Plan '' -- is set for April 7 at the Palace of Auburn Hills , which holds about 24,000 people . `` I thought I might try to get a word to him that we have a Ford Field , we have a Cobo Hall , we have wonderful theaters here , the Fox Theater , '' Reeves said . `` He could come and present something to Detroit as he said . '' Free tickets for the show will be given out beginning Monday at 10 a.m. , according to Leno 's Web site . Leno , host of NBC 's Tonight Show for more than 15 years , has a new job himself . He will move from late night to a 10 p.m. show .
