Dana Gould at Hollywood Improv

COMEDY

Though many graduates so-called “alternative comedy” scene of the ‘90s went on to greater fame (such as Patton Oswalt, Janeane Garafalo and Marc Maron), there were few comics faster or funnier on the draw than Dana Gould. A former writer for “The Simpsons” as well as host of his own podcast, Gould is still one of the sharpest and more twisted minds working today. The Hollywood Improv, 8162 Melrose Ave., L.A. 8 p.m. Sat. $20. hollywood.improv.com
