Funny Lady

Seriously optimistic comic Karen Rontowski comes to Cleveland tonight. The creepily cheery funny lady tends to rush through her stand-up without taking a breath. Told by her therapist she’s “in denial,” Rontowski jokes that she makes the best of the worst situations. She’s playing tonight at 8 at Hilarities and has shows scheduled for 8 tomorrow night and for 7 on Sunday night. Though you won’t find any blue humor in her routine, Rontowski’s show is still 21 and over. Tickets are $18. (Brittany Rees)
