Lowdown: You've Seen the Comedian Who is Performing in Arcata Tonight in a Movie, You Just Don't Remember

 

The least famous of these three people will be in Arcata tonight

It’s a twofer Tuesday at The Jam tonight where they’re just gonna go ahead and cram together a comedy show and an indie rock show because, uh, celebrate diversity. 

First up Savage Henry Independent Times has a night of standup headlined by Scott Capurro. The name didn’t ring a bell, but S.H.I.T. editor Chris Durant g-chatted us this YouTube clip (below) and then we figured out that he played one of the two flamboyantly gay men in Mrs. Doubtfire. Oh, and he played one half of a two-headed alien in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace! So there!

After the yuks, you lucky ducks can numb yourself with the lo-fi blues of San Antonio band Ghostwriter as well as local, reliable acoustic punkers The Bored Again.

After that it will be Wednesday. Go to bed. --Andrew Goff
