Whether you remember David Alan Grier doing that fake Froot Loops commercial as Maya Angelou (a classic!), or you remember him from his short-lived sitcom DAG costarring Delta Burke (ha-ha, liar), or you remember him for the fact that he can make a fake vomit noise with his vocal cords and mouth that somehow incorporates not just the sound of vomiting but also the sound of the vomit splattering wetly on the ground (seriously supernatural), you know that the In Living Color star (nay, legend!) is a dynamic, shrieking madman. Sometimes funny, sometimes alarming, he is a one-man event. (Parlor Live, 700 Bellevue Way NE, Bellevue, 425-289-7000, 7:30 pm, $20–$30, 21+)
