COMEDY: Be sure to check out the Cartoon Art Museum's fifth annual "Comix for Comics," a pee-your-pants night of hilarity featuring stand-up comedy by Carlos Alazraqui of Reno 911, Mike Meehan, Harmon Leon, Joe Klocek, the always-awesome Justin Lamb, and Michael Capozzola. What's more, the ticket price gets you a night of sparkling comedy, as well as tasty nibbles and booze.
