Since showing up on Houston airwaves four years ago, Chris Baker has been called everything from a “genius” to a “right-wing, bald blowhard” (love those listener forums). But whatever side of the fence the NewsRadio 740 talk show host leans on (he claims to be a libertarian), dude can be pretty funny, if pretty un-PC. Baker’s on-air job fair for midgets, which netted candidates height-specific gigs like scrubbing hubcaps at carwashes, was at the very least memorable. There’s no telling what he’ll rant about when he takes the stage at the Houston Improv today for a “Night of Comedy.” Doors open at 6 p.m. For tickets, call 713-333-8800 or visit www.improv.com. $10; proceeds benefit Faith in Practice.
