DeRay Davis

Comedian-turned-movie-star DeRay Davis has been a regular on the standup circuit for a while, so it isn't surprising to see that his most recent standup special includes a clip showing his veteran ability to completely dismantle a heckler. Between bits from his attitude-laced routine, which touches on everything from rappers with AIDS to the perks of being a Hollywood actor, Davis shows that his quick wit comes naturally as he thinks of insults on the fly. Though one hopes he wouldn't have to deal with the same situation tonight, when he comes to the Improv, , his ability to talk down a rude audience member could make for a truly memorable show nonetheless. The funny stuff starts at 8 and Davis and has shows scheduled at the club through Sunday. Tickets are $35 to $40. (Jacob DeSmit)
