Wanda Sykes at Wilbur Theater

Wanda Sykes

The Monster-In-law actress and comedian is acknowledged as one of the funniest stand-up comics by her peers and ranks among Entertainment Weekly's 25 Funniest People in America. Known for her lively, machine-gun fire wit that has seen her play the straight-talking sidekick in various film and tv projects, Sykes' repertoire focuses on wide-ranging subjects including gay marriage, racism and even federal government overspending. You name it, she'll most likely have an opinion - and a cuss - for it.

Jay Mohr at Laugh Boston

Jay Mohr

Jay Mohr is a quadruple threat. Film, television, radio, and stand-up are all among the bag of tricks he's been working on throughout his meteoric 20-year career. He sells out theaters, clubs, and colleges all over the country, earning standing ovations for his keen observations on the world and the people who live in it, plus his outstanding knack for celebrity impressions.

X The Band at Tupelo Music Hall

X The Band

Bowling For Soup

If you need a dose of unpretentious, instantly catchy pop-punk, then there are few better bands to see than Bowling for Soup.
