Between the recession, a brutal political season, Wikileaks and that bitch of an oil spill, 2010 was a total headache for a lot of people, but at least we'll look back and laugh at it all--especially at the Tea Party. This New Year's Eve, get a head start on the rest of us when comedian Tommy Davidson brings the laughs to the Arlington Improv, 309 Curtis Mathes Way, Suite #147. If the name doesn't ring a bell, you might remember Davidson from his years on In Living Color, or perhaps from his roles in classic films like Juwanna Mann, Black Dynamite and Booty Call. Actually, since his IMDB page lists only one project for all of 2010, it's possible Davidson had just as bad a year as the rest of us. Cut the guy a break and laugh when he takes the stage at 7:30 and 10 p.m. Friday. Tickets are $35 for the early show and $55 for the late show, which includes party favors and a champagne toast at midnight. Call 817-635-5555 or visit improv.com for more info.
Fri., Dec. 31, 7:30 & 10 p.m., 2010
