The standup scene in Phoenix has been booming over the past few years, with comedy nights spreading like wildfire. It’s only natural considering that everyone seems to need a good laugh these days -- especially with all the craziness that constitutes Valley culture.

The comedians of FilmBar’s Standup Comedy Night are more than happy to oblige, and will cut to the quip in hilarious fashion on Tuesday, May 24. The theatre is currently hosting weekly standup sessions from a rotating roster of such local comedians as Steve Maxwell, Jared Black, and Ashley Pirouznia.

Tuesdays, 9 p.m., 2011
