		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED At some point in Jeff Garlin&#8217;s free-wheeling stand-up comedy routine, he announces, &#8220;I&#8217;m the world&#8217;s most comfortable comedian. Not the world&#8217;s funniest, which is what you want, but the most comfortable.&#8221; That&#8217;s about right. Garlin&#8217;s show is less &#8220;show&#8221; (as he makes pains to point out more than once), and more like hanging out [...]]]></description>

On Friday, the pair toasts the first anniversary of their Red Bar Comedy Club with a nice ol&#8217; roast. Local comics and friends will unleash the rollicking truth (and perhaps some [...]]]></description>

After surviving cancer, she finally decided to give it a shot and started performing at the &#8220;Your Sunday Best&#8221; open-mic at Schubas. “I’m trying to spread the word about cancer,” she says. Pedersen wants people to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What better way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon than with a bunch of potheads listening to a pothead make jokes about pot. Today at 4:20pm, during a special single-matinee performance, a giggling crowd actually has something to laugh at. Upon entering the lobby, smoke-machine fog billows out of the theater doors. Doug Benson may [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a surprising fact: we&#8217;re coming up on the nine-year anniversary of Aqua Teen Hunger Force&#8217;s first episode (which, appropriately, was shown unannounced at 5am). That&#8217;s nine years of a series comprised of three talking fast-food items, their hairy, masturbation-loving neighbor, a bizarre cast of supervillians and a lot of nonsensical yelling. I&#8217;m not sure [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED It&#8217;s mostly inaccurate to label Bill Cosby as a &#8220;stand-up comedian&#8221; anymore. First off, no way in hell is he going to be standing—the 72-year old understandably plops himself into a chair for his shows. Second, Cosby doesn&#8217;t fit the traditional mold of stand-up&#8217;s set-up/punchline structure—he&#8217;s more of a storyteller with humorous tangents and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED The always-caustic Dave Attell brings his ubiquitous cigarette and smooth, soothing baritone to Lakeshore Theater, where his scathing wit and bizarrely contentious comments will take center stage. While many will remember Attell for his late-night Comedy Central series &#8220;Insomniac with Dave Attell,&#8221; which consisted of Attell roaming around the nightlife of a city, engaging [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED Man, I wish I could be so wildly successful at comedy that when I’m 64, I can say, “You know, I’m tired of stand-up. I think I’ll go on a banjo/bluegrass tour,” and only not can I embark on such a tour as specifically quirky as the banjo-picking kind, but I can go play [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[RECOMMENDED Drunken, obscene and kind of a jerk, Australian comedian Jim Jefferies offers the three most enduring qualities of a successful stand-up (along the fourth-most: funny accents!). While part of his current popularity stems from a well-reported incident at a Manchester gig in which he was punched in the face by an apparently not-amused spectator, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I assume Oak Park-born comedienne Kathy Griffin is at least kind of funny. Between her Emmy-award winning reality show, &#8220;Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List,&#8221; her best-selling book “Official Book Club Selection: A Memoir According to Kathy Griffin,” and her general omnipresence on cable, Griffin has somehow parlayed her giggly giddiness and approximately twenty-seven [...]]]></description>
