While it’s somewhat of a quiet start to the week, the comedy offerings in the Commonwealth are stacked come Wednesday
The best part about the comedy scene blossoming in and around Boston is that there is never a shortage of shows to check out, as homegrown talent, national headliners, and open mics galore make their way through and around the area all the damn time. And we want to make sure you know about it. Enter Mic’d Up.
Check back every Monday for a fresh slate of shows to check out. Below is our rundown through Sunday (February 9).

The comedy legend returns to the area, with a few friends in tow, to help raise money for a great cause. Joined by Chloe Cunha, Tooky Kavanagh, Anthony Scibelli, Dan Boulger and Carmen Lynch, the Dr. Katz star will bring his highly influential comedy voice to Somerville to help raise money for the National MS Society — a disease that Katz has been afflicted with for nearly 25 years.
