FUNNY VOICES: Friday Comedy BLOWOUT!

Well, kids, tonight is looking like an exceptionally stellar Friday night for comedy, so rather than just spotlighting one performer this week, we’re gonna give you a list of shows to have on your radar. Don’t have plans yet for tonight? We’re about to solve your problem…

1. B.J. Novak You know him as Ryan, the temp turned corporate overlord on The Office . But did you also know he also did standup? You can catch him making the Ha-Ha, tonight though Sunday at Caroline’s on Broadway. Shows at 8 and 10:30. Tickets a steep $27-$31. But come on, the guy’s on national television.

2. Kurt and Kristen in Double Down Hearts The Kristen in “Kurt and Kristen” is Kristen Schaal, best known to fans of Flight of the Conchords as the group’s biggest/only groupie, Mel. tonight she and her partner in comedy, Kurt Braunohler, preview the show they’ll be taking across the pond to the famed Edinburgh Fringe Festival. See it at the PIT tonight at 11 for only $8, which is seriously cheaper than buying a plane ticket to Scotland and seeing it there.

3. Mike Birbiglia: 60 Minutes of New Comedy Mike is one of the best standups working today, and he’s currently putting together a new act. Come watch the creative process–and help it along by laughing when the urge hits–at the UCB tonight at 8 pm. It costs $8 to get in the door. After that, the laughter is free.
