It’s that time of year again! Late September/early October! Here are some good comedy shows and videos to celebrate this super festive time of year!

LASERS IN THE JUNGLE

Although its name sounds like the title for a film in the “Tron Vs. Predator” franchise, it’s actually much, much cooler. Lasers in the Jungle is a weekly standup show every Saturday night at Luca Lounge in the East Village hosted by funny persons Sean Crespo and Dan Wilbur and produced by Carol Hartsell.

Details: Lasers in the Jungle, Thursday, Sep. 29 @ Luca Lounge (222 Ave B. & 13th St.), 9pm, FREE
