Orny Adams’ dry optimism and seeming preference for the things most people would hate (he likes nightmares more than good dreams) are good fodder for his standup. His past work includes writing jokes for Jay Leno and Gary Shandling, and he currently plays the character of Coach Finstock on MTV’s Teen Wolf. Tonight’s dinner show at Hilarities includes a buffet menu featuring prime rib, three entrees and three sides, a champagne toast and a special cabaret performance. The early show starts at 7:30 p.m. and the dinner show starts at 10:30 p.m., with tickets starting at $30. You can choose from variety of packages. (Liz Trenholme)
