Shakespeare wrote, "Beware the ides of March," and man, he was not kidding around. March just started, and some ides already stole my car. Stupid ides! Luckily, you can avoid the ides all month long at Comedy Central Stage. From what I understand, The Hudson in Hollywood is a completely ides-free zone, so you can just relax and enjoy some free comedy. Here's this month's lineup:

Jailbirds
Jailbirds is a multimedia sketch show from the comedy trio, BIRDS OF PREY (Best Sketch Group, Punchline Magazine.com; featured on Funny Or Die) also known as Susan Burke, Lizzy Cooperman and Emily Maya Mills. Directed by Joe Wagner.
