EDITOR’S PICK
FUNNY TOWN Spring time is comedy time in Chico, and three April weeks in a row feature big shows with visiting and local comedians. On April 8, the monthly Comedy is Gay showcase is on at Gnarly Deli and the following night, April 9, across the street at the El Rey Theater, movie/ TV star and longtime stand-up comedian Jamie Kennedy headlines. The following two weekends belong to Gnarly Deli, and the show of the month has to be the double bill hosted at the sandwich shop by Chico ex-pat DNA on April 15, with the Eddie “The Bitter Buddha” Pepitone joined by the godfather of punk comedy JT Habersaat. Last, the following April 22, is the Devil Town Dark Comedy Night, with Sacramento’s Emma Haney headlining a bill of four Chico comics, all exploring the darker side of life (hilarious!)
