New Vaudevillian Trav S.D. has been awfully funny for an awfully long time.  This show -- mining American folklore, pop culture, and history, and Trav's own life -- deals with America's four-century love affair with being conned.  No contemporary relevance there.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  As we mourn the closure of Brooklyn Star around the corner from the Brick, we soldier on to the new Pheasant:*  Mediterranean food with the kinds of twists you'd expect from an alumnus of the kitchen of the absolutely bonkers Isa.
