Comedy

THE GAS PRESENTS AL PARK Park is a relative newcomer to stand-up comedy, having started just three years ago. But he’s sharp, and this show is a chance to see him stretch and do a longer set. Aug. 23, 7 p.m. $5. Great Scott, 1222 Commonwealth Ave., Allston. 617-566-9014, www.greatscottboston.com

COREY HOLCOMB The Chicago native got his big break on “Last Comic Standing,” but his true comic self isn’t network friendly. He has said that his show, often sexually explicit or downright mean, is not for the sensitive. Aug. 23, 7:30 p.m. $20. The Wilbur Theatre. 866-448-7849, www.thewilburtheatre.com

SEAN SULLIVAN AND FRIENDS Local comedy fans have been deprived of Sullivan’s presence since he had kids, but he fixes that with a show of friends that includes Ken Reid, Kelly MacFarland, Tim McIntire, Dan Boulger, Dave McDonough, Kate Ghiloni, Kofi, and Gary Petersen. Aug. 23, 9:30 p.m. $5. Grandma’s Basement at Howard Johnson Hotel, 1271 Boylston St., Boston. 617-267-8300
