If you want to get a taste of the Ben Stiller-produced show before it hits TV and tablet screens, this your chance. And if we may be so biased to say so, “Portlandia” veteran Nanjiani and Nerdist favorite Ray are two of the funniest stand-ups working today, so this is a solid bet for an evening of laughs. (Also expect some Denver comics on the bill.)
Tickets, $10, are on sale at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 10 via . Expect this one to sell out quickly.

Check it out to see appearances from the mighty Kyle Kinane, Howard Kremer, Andy Peters, Matt Braugner, Kurt Braunouhler, Bryan Cook, David Gborie, Jake Weisman and Denver’s own Kristin Rand, Chris Charpentier, Matt Monroe, Nathan Lund, Ben Roy, Andy Juett and Aaron Urist.
