Listed below is a roundup of CL’s top picks for comedy shows in Charlotte this week. Hopefully, they keep you entertained and, more importantly, laughing out loud.
• Not only do you get to have laughing rounds as comedians Shaun Jones and Jerry Farber perform during Laugh for a Cure, but you can also chow down on hors d’oeuvres and participate in live and silent auctions (just remember not to get so carried away that you bid on things you can’t afford). Plus the shindig is for good cause, as it raises moola for Susan G. Komen for the Cure. March 8, 6 p.m. $45. McGlohon Theater, 345 N. College St. 704-372-1000. www.blumenthalarts.org.
• DS Sanders (pictured above) doesn’t have trouble finding humor in everyday occurrences. He also makes some pretty darn amusing facial expressions. To catch a glimpse at these, be sure to visit him at The Comedy Zone this week. March 7-8, 8 p.m.; March 9-10, 8 p.m. & 10:15 p.m. $10-$15. The Comedy Zone Charlotte, 900 NC Music Factory Blvd. 980-321-4702. www.cltcomedyzone.com.
• The Chuckleheads present its Comedy Improv Musical Variety Extravaganza at Ballantyne Art Center on Saturday.
