Eliza Skinner
Standup Eliza Skinner has knocked Bridgetown audiences on their faces and counts Patton Oswalt as one of her fans. She’s also probably written your favorite Funny or Die video or bit from The Late Late Show with James Corden. She’s doing a special one-off show tonight before she comes back to town with her sharp wit for the Bridgetown Comedy Fest in June. COURTNEY FERGUSON

J Names
Perhaps God planned it this way, but for some reason many of Portland’s best improvisers have names that start with the letter “J.” Now you can see them all in one place in a special evening of improvisational hilarity called J Names. Don’t miss it when the very funny John Breen, Jed Arkley, Janet Scanlon, Jay Flewelling, and more J-named people make you laugh your pants off. WM. STEVEN HUMPHREY
Siren Theater, 315 NW Davis, 7:30 pm, $5-10
