It’s not easy to remain relevant in the comedy world for decades, but that’s just what this stand-up legend has done. The performance doubles as a benefit for the Always Asheville fund, so fans will be laughing in support of a good cause. —Jonny Leather

Asheville Vaudeville
Although popular culture may lead us to believe that all clowns are depraved maniacs that will drag your children to the depths of hell, it turns out these costumed folks can be really talented entertainers. On Friday, local jester Mr. Face hosts a wild night featuring comedy, juggling, magic, burlesque, acrobatics, aerial arts, short plays, puppetry, sideshow, music, and more. —JL
