There will be plenty of things for people all over the country to do on 4/20. 

May we suggest, if you’re in or around Houston, TX going to the very 1st Annual Harris Phest, a celebration put together by Harris’ sister Stephanie Wittels Wachs of the late Harris Wittels, at 8th Wonder Brewery. 

There will be presenting the best Parks and Rec scenes written by Harris, a reading of some of his best tweets, a performance from a Phish cover band, A Live One, and a live stand-up show. It’s as Wittels as you can get pretty much.

Proceeds from the show will go to benefit the Harris Wittels Fund at High School for Performing and Visual Arts in Houston.

One of our absolute favorite podcasts, The Dollop, has just set their official dates for their latest tour across North America, which includes one stop in Reykjavik, Iceland. 

While hosts Dave Anthony and Gareth Reynolds have toured extensively through Australia, this will be the first time that Dave is going to a non-English speaking country really giving some international touring cred to The Dollop. 

Also, a second NYC show has just been added FYI.

You can get tickets and the most up-to-date schedule of this tour right here. If you’re aiming to go, you’ll want to get the tickets quick by the way.

Maria Bamford, Dana Gould, Tim Meadows, Morgan Murphy, Todd Barry, The Goddamn Comedy Jam, Billy Wayne Davis, Jenny Zigrino, Jackie Kashian, Nick Thune, Joe DeRosa, James Adomian, Baron Vaughn, Tim Dillon, and Sabrina Jalees are just a few of the names scheduled to perform at the 2nd Come and Take It Comedy Festival in Houston, TX.

The festivities are set to go down from Thursday, November 17th-Sunday, November 20th. For all of that comedy, you only have to drop $79 for a weekend pass or $35 for a single day pass. That’s a pretty good deal considering the treasure trove of comedians on the bill. A VIP pass is only $129 as well.

If you’re in Texas or have to go back to Texas for Thanksgiving, definitely consider going to Come and Take it.

Minus the Hartford controversy, there’s plenty of great hijinks being had at Funny or Die’s Oddball Comedy & Oddity Festival/Tour.

For instance, while Oddball stopped in Houston, Hannibal Buress made fun of some rap lyrics, specifically some by Bun B, then get confronted by Bun B, then doing a rendition of Hannibal’s single “Gibberish Rap” in response to Bun B asking how Hannibal can critique lyrics when he’s a comedian.

Watch it all go down here.
