La Cienega Blvd., West Hollywood. 8:30 p.m. $25-$30. (310) 855-0350. https://www.largo-la.com.

Eddie Izzard The British comedian bring his long-winded (to say the least) style of standup comedy to the sylvan setting of the Bowl. Few targets are spared, but the pleasures remain in his keen wit and the paradox of his finely honed shambolic style. Hollywood Bowl, 2301 N. Highland Ave., L.A. 8 p.m. $25-$90. hollywoodbowl.com.
