Howard Duhon as The Cajun Existentialist

Catch Howard Duhon's distinctly regional comedy act at Cité des Arts this month, in which he promises to enlighten his audience on their local history, and to perhaps get a laugh out of you. "This is a comedy for a sophisticated audience," he says. "You probably won't like it." Among the topics on the table are the difference between fishing and sinning, the origins of Boudreaux and Thibodeaux jokes, and the role of amygdalas in romance and depression. Most importantly, as Duhon says: "and the beer is free, cher!" 6 pm. $20. citedesarts.org.
