The legendary poet Robert Burns famously wrote of May, "There's nary a better month to see free comedy shows." And sure it was in one of his crappier poems that didn't even rhyme, but it's still true to this day, as you can see from this month's Comedy Central Stage schedule.
All shows take place at The Hudson in Hollywood, start at 8pm and have limited seating. Call (323) 960-5519 for reservations.

GOOD EVENING AMERICA
Drew Droege
Ten years ago, Drew Droege tried on a blonde wig and said to himself, “Gee, I look like Chloe Sevigny”. What followed has been a decade of insane live appearances, a slew of viral videos, and even a brush with the star herself. Spend an evening with a man, his wig, and his half-blouse by Balenciaga.
