Ladies' Man

With his boyish good looks and sharp one-liners, diminutive comic Erik Rivera is on the rise. Rivera likes to tell stories about his childhood when he grew up in a poor Spanish home. He’ll joke about how his mother won’t divorce his father because that will make him “alone and happy.” And he likes to make fun of some of the stereotypes regarding interracial dating. Known as a ladies' man, Rivera performs at 7:30 tonight at the Cleveland Improv, and performances are scheduled through Sunday. Tickets are $17 to $20. (Aziza Doleh)
