The title Kinda Blue for a comedy night suggests a lineup full of crass, foul-mouthed comics trying to one-up and out-raunch one another.

The title Kinda Blue for a comedy night suggests a lineup full of crass, foul-mouthed comics trying to one-up and out-raunch one another. True, the all-local bill will present material that is certainly for adult ears only, but that doesn't mean the stand-ups have to resort to four-letter words to shock. In his set opening for Neil Hamburger, Clint “Paco” Werth shared his reaction to the story of a California woman who killed her baby in a microwave oven: “I just think it's really sad that women don't know how to cook anymore.” Werth is joined by Brad LaCour, Ryan Mullican, Matt McInnis and Chris Darden at 11:30 p.m. Saturday at the Addison Improv, 4980 Belt Line Road. Tickets are $12, or just $3 with the promo code HAHA when purchased at kindablue.com.
