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.
Human Rights Campaign's Queer Queens of Qomedy at Great Aunt Stella Center is a showcase of three comedians - Karen Williams, Zack Toczynski, Poppy Champlin - and activists in the LGBT community. Toczynski, who popped out of the closet and onto the comedy circuit in D.C. with a monthly gig called "Gaylarious," jokes about his heritage (he's a Polish-bred, New York born, Catholic practicing republican who is openly gay). Folks who purchase a ticket for this show also get an annual membership to the HRC. $25-$40. Oct. 27, 8 p.m. Great Aunt Stella Center, 926 Elizabeth Ave. www.queerqueensofqomedy.com.
