STAGE

Sandra Bernhard On her new live comedy album, “I Love Being Me, Don’t You?,” Sandra Bernhard careens from acidic commentary about Angelina Jolie’s lips to her daughter’s recent bat mitzvah gift wish — a Japanese toilet — to how kabbalah “went all wrong.” Now, Bernhard will perform some of that material live — along with plenty of new comedy and music — in her latest staged show of the same name. REDCAT, 631 W. 2nd St., L.A. 8:30 p.m. Sat.; 7 p.m. Sun.; 8:30 p.m. Aug. 17-20; 7 p.m. Aug. 21. (213) 237-2800. $45-$50.
