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.
• Flavor Flav (pictured above) — the founding member of the '80s political rap group Public Enemy — hosts this "Freaky Comedy Tour" with special guest Jay Phillips. $20-$25. March 1, 8 p.m.; March 2-3, 8 p.m. and 10:15 p.m. The Comedy Zone Charlotte, 900 NC Music Factory Blvd., Charlotte. 980-321-4702. www.cltcomedyzone.com.

• Now going into its third year, the Royal Comedy Tour — coming to the "Bo-Round" — must be doing something right. We think leading comedian Sommore might have a hand in this show's successful run.
