No Way to Treat a Lady This strange musical comedy, reworked since its last appearance at Village Theatre in 1999 (also directed by Steve Tomkins), was originally inspired by the Boston Strangler-according to source novelist William Goldman. Predictable as something on LMN, Douglas J. Cohen’s 1987 gore-free, family-friendly show is one part murder-porn-gasm, one part hokey musical, and all parts fun. Suffering a deadly devotion to his late mother (a celebrated actress), failed thespian Christopher “Kit” Gill (Nick DeSantis) dons various disguises and adopts different dialects whilst murdering women who remind him of her. (If he can’t be famous, he decides, he’ll be infamous.) Dissatisfied with his media mentions, he begins an antagonistic telephone relationship with NYPD detective Morris Brummell (Dane Stokinger). This cat-and-mouse script smartly balances engaging action with witty dialogue and lyrics. This ensemble enchants with energetic singing and excellent acting. Notable are Jayne Muirhead as the cop’s suffocating Jewish mother; Jessica Skerritt as Morris’ shiksa love interest; and Bobbi Kotula, this production’s versatile champion, who distinctly depicts Kit’s mother and his victims.

Gilbert Gottfried He became famous for partly the wrong reasons: the scrunched brow, the growling joke delivery, the whining and cringing and kvetching connective material, the pure shtick of it. Emerging from the comedy clubs of the ‘70s, he never aspired to be Seinfeld-smooth or Letterman-regular. He put ethnicity and idiosyncrasy in your face, daring you to like him and, eventually, finding a national audience on SNL and MTV. Yet Gottfried was then and is now a traditionalist, despite the odd delivery. He’s a product of the Borscht Belt-or rather, an inheritor of that lineage, an epigone. An antic schlemiel onstage, he’s also the consummate professional, a voiceover veteran of Disney cartoons and the old Aflac duck. (He was fired from that gig for a Japanese tsunami tweet, which actually gives him more cyber-cred.) Forty years back, he might’ve seemed a novelty act-an anti-comedian, like Billy Crystal’s foul-mouthed id unleashed. Today he’s a venerable elder of stand-up. (Through Sat.)

Marc Maron Always one of our favorite comics, Maron rescued himself from post-millennial depression and career doldrums with his garage-brewed WTF podcasts-now a must-do for his comedy cohort-and his newer cable show Maron, now in its second season on IFC. You can’t separate his braininess from his self-disgust; loathing the laziness of the world, the failure to put more thought into things, is a constant in his humor. He’s known for being cranky, if not quite a misanthrope. There’s a difference between expecting other people to let him down and being surprised by it; Maron belongs in the latter camp. You have to be an idealist before pessimism hardens your soul. Interviewed in the recent documentary Misery Loves Comedy, he told director Kevin Pollak that he got into the trade during the late ‘80s because his comedy mentors “seemed to be in control of this horrendous hurricane of bullshit that comes to us every day.” A good joke, with an intelligent point behind it, is a way of making sense of that hurricane-even if it comes from within.
