Froth presents a free paranormal stand-up comedy night at 8 p.m., with comedians Markles, Lillith Blume and others. You can be among that latter camp if you have a spooky story to tell as well, so don’t be shy. A quick story into the mic is but a moment, while the silence of the grave […]

We have a new venue in town, as the Jam in Arcata is no more, having morphed into something called the Wild Hare Tavern. Out with the old, in with the leporids. Humor is often the best way to break the ice in a new social situation, so what better way to get acquainted with […]

Rising star Bay Area comedian Paul Conyers brings his stand-up chops to the Basement tonight for two sets, at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., so you have options if you are more or less of a Sunday nighthawk. The $20 admission is not a bad deal for a headlining comedian who fills larger venues in […]

Comedy Tonight: Tuesday, June 6
It’s 6/6/23 (and 2 x 3 = 6), so we are dealing with a Luciferian date today. Well, what’s out there in our current mediascape that’s more infuriatingly stupid and demonic than AI? (I’m not counting Elon’s Twitter-curated faceplant of Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign announcement, because that was pathetic and funny). Anyhoo, Savage Henry is […]

Music Tonight: Thursday, March 23
Every now and then a show comes along that allows for some audience participation and behavior that would be misapplied elsewhere. Anything from The Rocky Horror Picture Show to a performance by GWAR. Tonight’s gig at Savage Henry Comedy Club is one such show. It’s called the Heckler’s Paradise and, as the name suggests, it’s […]

Given the widespread coverage and ad campaign for Jay Leno’s double set at the Arkley Center for the Performing Arts on Sunday, I probably don’t need to carry any water for those gigs, but may I suggest a double headlining appearance of a less famous but certainly no less funny comic? Tonight and tomorrow night […]

Paul Reiser is Back at the Mic
Paul Rieser started with stand-up, prior to his roles as the jaded Modell in the cult classic Diner, the era-appropriately smarmy villain Burke in Aliens, dotingly awkward husband Paul Buchanon in the series Mad About You and, most recently, Dr. Owens, the better of two evil scientists in Stranger Things. He’s also contributed to the […]

A modestly-sized audience listened attentively before cracking into applause at the Savage Henry Comedy Club. Bursts of laughter filled the back room after a joke in Spanish about the difference between Guatemalans and Mexicans. “En México tienen el taco, el burrito, la tostada,” Nando Molina, a fixture in the Eureka comedy scene, said. “En Guatemala […]
