Al Harris on the week's top five comedy shows. This week: Larry David's perpetual houseguest, more tirades by Bill Burr and PHIT's take on science and medicine.

Perhaps best known as Larry David’s perpetual houseguest Leon on HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, comedian JB Smoove, is also one hell of a comedy writer and standup comedian. His first feature film appearance was the narrator of Pootie Tang and he later co-starred in Mr. Deeds with Adam Sandler. Smoove was also a writer for Saturday Night Live from 2003 to 2007. Most recently he's had roles in The Sitter and the upcoming Sasha Baron-Cohen farce The Dictator. Watch Smoove get physical in this standup clip where he reminisces about throwing rocks at old people when he was a kid.

Thu. March 29, 8 p.m. and 10:15 p.m., Fri.-Sat. March 30-31, 7:30 p.m. and 10: p.m., $21-$33, Helium Comedy Club, 2031 Sansom St., 215-495-9001, heliumcomedy.com.
