Of course August is the eighth month of the year, but a lot of people forget that it's also an adjective meaning "of supreme dignity or grandeur." And accordingly August's lineup for Comedy Central Stage at The Hudson in Hollywood is august as hell.

As always, all shows start at 8pm and are free with limited seating. Call (323) 960-5519 for reservations.
