Dirtyloud (Facebook/Dirtyloud)

One of Comedy Central's greatest stand-up comedians of all time, Eddie Griffin, takes the stage at Riot Act Comedy Theater. The Malcolm in the Middle actor and comedian's stand-up act sparkles with "the sleepy eyes of a marijuana aficionado, and the contagious laugh he shares at his own outrageousness." Griffin still makes a crowd laugh like it's 1992, with jokes that work the "well-worn lines between black and white culture." $30-$35. Thursday - Sunday.
