Editor’s Note: The vibes of football season, eating more apples off of trees than you actually pick, and what will inevitably be droves of I Think You Should Leave Halloween costumes (sexy pig with a Nixon mask, anyone?) are inching closer as we say goodbye to baseball season (at least when it comes our friendly neighborhood basement-dwelling Red Sox) and instead, usher in the early earmarks of the upcoming holidaze. However, live comedy is a four-season jamboree, and lucky for you, we’ve got you covered. With homegrown talent, national headliners, and open mics galore highlighting the calendar, the plethora of powerful comedy throughout the commonwealth continues to show up, night after night. Enter Mic’d Up, our ongoing weekly series that details the best live comedy shows to consider as you head out and about. Below, find our rundown for this week, through Sunday (October 29).
Phoebe Robinson at The Wilbur
She may be Messy AF this tour, but make no mistake that Robinson has made a habit of sticking a clean landing with her potent brand of upfront stand-up for years now, and at its current standing, there’s no exception. So hop aboard the adventure ride that Robinson is sure to supply for yet another night of unbridled honesty and hilarity.
PHOEBE ROBINSON :: Friday, October 27 at The Wilbur Theatre, 246 Tremont St. in Boston, MA :: 6:30 p.m., $33 to $49 :: Advance Tickets
Eric Neumann at Crystal Ballroom
With making light of frustrating and even somewhat traumatic events, Neumann has continued to make his way through the comedy game with a crushing approach to staying real and relatable, and letting the slow burn sizzle before turning his show into a presentation fully ablaze in laughs and unique thoughts.
ERIC NEUMANN :: Friday, October 27 at Crystal Ballroom, 55 Davis Square in Somerville, MA :: 6:30 p.m., $35 :: Advance Tickets
Jay Larson at Roar! Comedy Club
Returning home for the second time in less than a year, Larson brings with him a new set of deeply detailed stories. While it may seem impossible for him to top the swan song that is his tale of causing possible financial detestation to an entire company, the Stoneham native is readily equipped with the same type of high-octane laugh gas he’s become known and loved for.
JAY LARSON :: Friday, October 27 and Saturday, October 28 at Roar! Comedy Club, 1 MGM Way in Springfield, MA :: 8 p.m. both nights, $25 :: Advance tickets
Dan Crohn at Wicked Funny Comedy Club
Fresh off the release of his first stand-up album, the longtime local all-star brings his consistently strong comedy skills to the masses, live in person. While some new material is bound to be in the set, we’re just looking forward to the tried and true hilarity that Crohn brings to the stage night after night.
DAN CROHN :: Saturday, October 28 at Wicked Funny Comedy Club, 946 Osgood St. in North Andover, MA :: 6:30 p.m., $25 :: Advance tickets
