The Comedy Get Down World Tour When: Fri., Oct. 7 One of the few comedians who has truly made the transition into acting, Cedric the Entertainer has certainly come a long way from the days when he was trying to make an impression on programs such as It's Showtime at the Apollo and Def Comedy Jam.

Hughley, George Lopez and Charlie Murphy on the Comedy Get Down World Tour. The show begins at 8 at the Q. Tickets are $29.50 to $89.75.
