Comedian Mark Klein has a long history, of more than 20 years, doing both stand-up and corporate comedic presentations. On the side, he also races horses, which isn't surprising, considering that he's from Louisville, Kentucky. Rattling off his routine like an auctioneer, his fast-paced show features the business of horses, politics and family, among other things. Klein tends to slip in some political left-wing bashing, and you should be prepared to laugh at the seriousness of Kentucky horse racing. $10. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. Lake Norman Comedy Zone in Galway Hooker, 17044 Kenton Dr., Cornelius. 704-895-1782 www.lkncomedyzone.com.
