Huggy Lowdown is best known as the "Celebrity Snitch" on Tom Joyner's syndicated morning show, on which he gives daily gossip updates cracking himself and the other hosts up with obvious innuendo and catty insults. The jokes aren't that clever, but he's got an enthusiastic, kinda-swishy delivery that makes them sound funny. Or maybe it's Joyner's over-laughing that makes him sound funny. With just one chance to see Huggy, you better check him out lest he name you "Bamma of the Week." Show time is 8 p.m. Thursday at the Addison Improv, 4980 Belt Line Road. Tickets ($22) and more info are at improv.com.
