COMEDY

Annie Lederman

“I’m going through a breakup … next week,” Annie Lederman quips in a recent stand-up clip posted online, giving you an appropriately bitter taste of her sardonic, smart comedy, in which she muses on everything from flashing firemen to resembling actress Scarlett Johansson post-house fire. See her at 7 and 9:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday at Wiseguys Las Vegas, 1511 S. Main St. Tickets are $30; vegas.wiseguyscomedy.com.
