Ron Shock

When born a misanthrope, you really have but two choices. One: struggle through life while silently noting the worst of humans’ antics. Or two: build a career out of said revelations. Ron Shock chose the latter, and the world is a funnier place because of it. He plucks headlines that are nearly Darwinian in nature from the pages of Southern newspapers, like “Nine Friends Rushed to Hospital After Accidentally Drinking an Entire Bottle of Lye,” proceeds to spin them into layered tales and then slowly pans away the excess until only a belly-laugh jewel remains. 8 and 10:30 p.m. Friday, 7, 9 and 10:45 p.m. Saturday, 7 p.m. Sunday. The Laff Spot, 17776 Tomball Parkway. For information, call 281-955-9200 or visit www.laffspot.com. $15.
