Flight of the Conchords is a popular HBO show featuring the awkwardly hilarious interactions of musicians Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie. Allston's Great Scott held a viewing party featuring episodes from the show's upcoming second season last Friday night. The venue threw open its doors to a frozen-solid crowd and offering an open bar and free food in exchange for hearty (and possibly drunken) laughter.

Comedian Rob Cantrell, a popular finalist on two seasons of NBC's "Last Comic Standing", is the ringmaster of "Rob Cantrell's Electric Study Break" at T.T. the Bears on Wednesday night, December 10th, starting at 9pm. "Electric Study Break" is going to be a fun and innovative combination of stand-up comedy, short films, and hoppin' DJ sets. The fact that this is being held at a rock club instead of a comedy club means that for $8 you get a lot of entertainment without a high door fee and a two drink minimum.
