Before your forehead meets your desk in a state of longing for the weekend, might we suggest a little antidote for work-week agony: Laughter! Check out this kick-ass compilation of this week's best comedy shows, of which we have an abundance here in Los Angeles. Typically less than $5, live comedy sets are fantastic ways to see your favorite comics in a more genuine light and support local theaters. Tonight, you can catch Ellie Kemper (a.k.a. Erin from The Office) at MBar, and on Thursday, watch Hal Rudnick and Justin Donaldson compete for the title of "biggest nerd." It's poised to be a hysterical week, so don't trudge through it bitterly—get your funny fix! (LAist)
