From his HBO and Showtime stand-up specials, to his recurring roles on shows such as Curb Your Enthusiasm and Everybody Hates Chris, it's no wonder that Richard Lewis was listed as one of Comedy Central's top 50 stand-up comedians of all time.

Special guest is Mike Jacobs, known for his sidesplitting edgy brand of observational comedy. Bissell House (378 Main Street, Ridgefield) will pour a free glass of house wine or draft beer with dinner the night of this show when tickets/stubs are presented. Media sponsor is i95fm The Home of Rock 'n' Roll. This event is part of the Clark Construction Comedy Series.

In a rare moment of profoundness and introspection, Groucho Marx once said, "I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose what it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it." I'm sure Groucho would be pleased to know that a handful of artists in Austin are choosing to spread happiness and joy with Eggheads, a valentine to the Marx Brothers and their antics. Anyone who loves 1930s screwball comedies is sure to love this show.
