AltCom! The Alternative Comedy Festival
The Boston Phoenix – May 7th, 2009

There’s nothing funny about blowing an opportunity to see stand-up legends from the cozy confines of your favorite Davis Square haunts, so look lively, people: AltCom! The Alternative Comedy Festival returns to the ’Ville with another boffo line-up of talent. Headliners include Janeane Garofalo, The Daily Show’s Rob Riggle, the Upright Citizens Brigade Touring Company, Onion and Harvard Lampoon contributors, and Eugene Mirman (who despite his new-found fame as Flight of the Conchords’ affable landlord manages to drop in on the Union Square Round Table at P.A.’s once in a while). On the local tip, a host of Beantown luminaries (Ken Reid, Myq Kaplan, MC Mr. Napkins, and vaudevillians the Steamy Bohemians) take the stage
