Happy Friday, all! Although it’s futile for us to even talk about comedy, what with the supercollider going online next month, creating a black hole into which we will all be sucked, I shall dutifully march forth and provide you with information about the best shows the city has to offer, in an effort to make your final days more enjoyable.

GO SEE THIS!
TJ and Dave (Barrow St. Theatre, 27 Barrow St.; Tonight/Saturday 10:00 pm, Sunday 9:00 pm; $20) – Two of the best improvisational comedians to ever walk the earth take the stage to shame every other performer with their superior skills.

WHY YOU SHOULD GO
Look, I’ve made it no secret that I also perform, and as a performer, I will think I’ve reached a good place, that I’m performing well. Then along comes a show like TJ and Dave and I realize that I will never be even half as good or funny as them. This drives me to drink. Bad for me liver, good for ye funnybone. Seriously, they’re amazing, and have that great ability to make something as nebulous as improv accessible and entertaining for everyone.
