New York-based comedian Rory Scovel is a hoot. In his act, he outlines the bouts of absurdity found in everyday life situations. You may have seen his stand-up on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham, but in case you haven’t, take my word for it (and check out the video posted below): He’ll make you laugh. See him perform live at the Wok Bar on Sunday, Feb. 27. Comedians Steve Forrest and Scott Moran open. $5 in advance. 7 p.m. Wok Bar, 127 N. Tryon St. 704-887-9720. www.wokbarnc.com/charlotte_comedy.html.
