Bill Bellamy
If comic Bill Bellamy did nothing more than coin the phrase “booty call,” he’d go down in comic history. But the guy has been a staple on the standup circuit for nearly 30 years now. His star power hasn’t diminished over that time, either. His material tends to stick to tried-and-true topics like the differences between men and women when it comes to romantic love and surviving the trials and tribulations of getting through security at the airport. Still, this guy is a pro storyteller who knows how to work the room. He performs tonight at 7:30 and 10 at the Improv, where he has shows scheduled through Sunday. Check the Improv website for ticket prices and more info. 1148 Main Ave., 216-696-IMPROV, clevelandimprov.com.

Matt Fulchiron
Best known by his nickname “The Full Charge” because of the way he “rocks microphones,” standup comic Matt Fulchiron is a scruffy-looking guy who like to deliver one liners such as “I drove here tonight in a meat wagon because this next joke is going to fuckin’ slaughter.” He’s better when he tells anecdotes about going on dates and makes fun of his married friends who need to party when their wives are out of town.
