WEDNESDAY MARCH 24
COMEDY
There's a popular notion that women are not as funny as men. Out to annihilate that untruth is the second annual WOMEN IN COMEDY FESTIVAL, a five-day laugh smorgasbord of shows, workshops, and panels with this city's best female comics (and, yes, the occasional male), improv and sketch groups, filmmakers, and humor writers. The event's producers have opened up the line-up to the rest of the country, so this year, two Californians are headlining: the uproarious, possibly insane MARIA BAMFORD, a woman of a thousand voices who has starred on Comedy Central's "Comedians of Comedy" tour, and the more-together but no less funny (okay, maybe a little less funny) Los Angeles–based JACKIE KASHIAN. The festival invades two notorious laugh institutions: Mottley's Comedy Club, 61 Chatham St, Boston, and Improv Boston, 40 Prospect St, Cambridge | March 24-28 | womenincomedyfestival.com.

- Review: El Perro Del Mar at the Brattle
Sharing a bill, a backing band, and the cramped stage of the Brattle Theatre last Friday, two Swedish singer-songwriters turned it up to the world-music equivalent of 11 for an audience that, for the most part, refused to dance.

Defining "Jewish" music is pretty much a fool's task — not much easier than defining jazz.

Considering that it was Valentine's Day eve and identical twins Tegan and Sara are currently the indie pop darlings of the gay world, one would expect to find a whole lot of grrrl power flowing at the Orpheum last Saturday night.
- Talking ’bout a revolution
It takes a theatrical genius like Tom Stoppard to come up with Rock ’n’ Roll, which merges the pulsing spirit of both until they feel like one. And it takes a theater of the caliber of the Gamm to make history feel like a Stones concert that becomes a political rally.
