    Comedy

    Moontower Comedy Festival

    If the proverbial 800-pound gorilla were weaponized, this would be its manifestation as living embodiment of the nation's comedy-industrial complex – now smack in the center of your own Downtown. Reigning supreme in the scene with more laughter than the King in Yellow has lack of masks, this annual conflagration brings the biggest and best names from all over, adds a happy helping of equally wise locals, and sets 'em onstage all over town (with the venerable Paramount as the epicenter) for your giggling diversion from humanity's headlong plummet toward the grave. More than 150 comics in more than ten venues for more than ten days – and who the hell's gonna survive the afterparties with less than a Krakatoa in their morning-after skull? We've got a plethora of solid coverage for you right here, but – do check the festival website for details.
    April 13-24. $99 and up.

    Out of Ink: Unusual Embrace

    ScriptWorks' 23rd annual ten-minute play showcase features, among its wild diversity of characters, half-coyote/half-human teens, an improv troupe, a boy made of glass, and an invisible boy. This lively show reveals ScriptWorks members' interpretations of three mandatory script ingredients – a moment when a list becomes the only means to communicate; something that cannot be seen by the human eye; an unusual embrace – that provided inspiration during last fall's "Weekend Fling 48-hour Writing Retreat." The short scripts, written by Robin Anderson, Maggie Gallant, Ava Love Hanna, Andra Laine Hunter, Zac Kline, Briandaniel Oglesby, Greg Romero, and Anne Wynter, will be performed by an ensemble of actors under the direction of Lowell Bartholomee, Carl Gonzales, Ellie McBride, Christina J. Moore, and Sharon Sparlin.
    Through April 30. Thu.-Sat., 8pm. $14-16 (pay what you wish, April 21).
