Filed Under: Comedy LOL With It

SATURDAY:

Laughs on Fairmount Summer Showcase — Standup comedy at Urban Saloon (2120 Fairmount Ave.) from Carolyn Busa, Mary Radzinski, Blythe Wimbush, Alejandro Morales, Alex Grubard, James Hesky and John McKeever. 8 p.m., $10.

Tenacious D (pictured) — Jack Black and Rage-Cage are coming to Festival Pier, and last I checked there are tickets still available. The gods of comedy-rock are touring in support of their Rize of the Fenix album. $45, tenaciousd.com.

Greg Fitzsimmons — One of the best joke-writers in the industry (read our interview with him) is back in Philly to lay down his biting, acerbic wit upon an unsuspecting Helium crowd. $21, Helium Comedy Club, 2031 Sansom St., heliumcomedy.com.
