L.A.-based comedian Greg Barris has deep ties to Central Florida, and his semi-annual shows at and around the Will’s Pub complex feel more like parties than performances. Some of that’s because Barris sometimes shares photos of his travels from the year, and he enlists members of local bands like the Pauses and Watch Me Disappear to back him up during a grand, confessional musical finale. You, too, will be forgiven.

8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18; Dirty Laundry, 1042 N. Mills Ave.; free; willspub.org.
