The week ahead: nightlife
CLUBS & DANCE NIGHTS BLOCK PARTY The second time will certainly be a charm for José McIntyre’s annual outdoor benefit for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

The Rat Pack Is Back at the Stoneham Theatre
These guys weren’t “Mad Men,’’ but they were oh-so-’60s. Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, and Joey Bishop open their ring-a-ding-ding gig tonight at the Stoneham Theatre. “The Rat Pack Is Back’’ pays tribute to the iconic Vegas and Hollywood quartet through the talents of Brian Duprey (Sinatra), Kyle Diamond (Davis), Mickey Joseph (Bishop), and Drew Anthony (Martin). The ... (Globe Staff, 7/8/09)
Kitsch in Sync at the Puppet Showplace Theatre, Brookline
You and Kitsch in Sync have your work cut out for you tomorrow at “Summer Blockbuster!’’ The local improv comedy troupe relies on your suggestions to fuel their funniness at this movie mockery that skewers with trailers, scenes, reviews, bloopers, and an awards ceremony (we want to thank. . .). Your reward is free popcorn and a chance to watch ... (Globe Staff, 7/8/09)
Comic focuses on his life and ‘Death’
Boston comedian Mike Dorval has been doing stand-up for a decade, but this Tuesday he’ll take a new leap. He opens a six-performance run of his one-man show “Death by Chocolate’’ at the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater.

Life before the "Oceans'' films
Once upon a time there were two guys named Dave Sawyer (left) and Will Luera who lived lives of crime by robbing stores, banks, and country clubs. Eventually, the two morphed into Matt Damon and Don Cheadle, and made a bundle as film stars. The real story is that the first pair is a couple of funny guys from ImprovBoston ...

Schaal and Mirman bring twice the laughs
Kristen Schaal (above) and Eugene Mirman recently interviewed each other at Grand Central Station, and revealed that they share the same story about how they got their start in show business. Believe it or not, their mothers put them on the doorstep of a prolific and famous producer. Isn’t that uncanny? Best known for appearances on HBO’s “Flight of the ... (Globe Staff, 6/25/09)
That's a wrap
We miss our weekly visit with the president and his cohorts on “The West Wing.’’ The Obama fly swatting was entertaining, but it pales to President Bartlet’s turkey pardoning. Well, ordinary citizen Martin Sheen joins Garrison Keillor and his cast of characters for the traditional Tanglewood live broadcast of the season finale of “A Prairie Home Companion.’’ Steve Martin also ...

Stand up to cancer
There’s nothing funny about cancer, but there are several funny people raising money for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. At Comics Against Cancer , nationally known comedians will be introduced by Steve Burr. The LA comic lost his mother to cancer and has said, “Needless to say, I’m still holding a bit of a grudge toward the disease. ... (Boston Globe, 6/21/09)
Comedy tonight!
June’s evil landlord is threatening the ingénue because she can’t pay her rent. Will a leading man come to the rescue? Will everything be coming up roses? “The Musical of Musicals (the Musical!)’’ by Joanne Bogart and Eric Rockwell uses this plotline to satirize musical theater in the styles of Rodgers and Hammerstein, Stephen Sondheim, Jerry Herman, Andrew Lloyd Webber, ...
