[Boston Globe] --Another milemarker in the ongoing battle between the mayor and the Firefighters Union: The union is considering picketing Menino's State of the City speech.

While Gold Glove Youkilis shaved his goatee for charity tonight, the funnymen at ImprovBoston are getting into the spirit of Movember (Moustache Month) with a growing season of their own. Bostonist commemorates their valiant attempts to grow mustaches for charity--or at least hilarity (see how that rhymed? do you SEE?!). Though the Improv team started their mustache-growing season a little bit early (on October 18), this means their hirsute results will simply be that much......

Improv Boston is moving from Inman Square in Cambridge to Central Square. The new space is at Prospect and Mass Ave, right by The Field in the former home of an Asian grocery. The new space represents an era of bigger, better, faster, more for Improv Boston, and they need your money for the move, so they have put together the 25th Anniversary Funny Money Capital Campaign. They'd like $150,000. So would we, but they're......

They've taken a field trip from the Improv Asylum to take to the streets of Downtown Crossing to find out how much an average passerby knows about the British. From bangers and mash to knocking up, from the Beatles to the Sun it seems there's little knowledge about the Brits walking around downtown Boston. We've seen much funnier – perhaps schilling for a contest to win airline tickets doesn't lend to the funny. Learning point:......

Since our marathon-running friends are in hardcore training mode and refuse to go out, Bostonist has decided to make up for their loss this week. So, we're going to keep this party going and head out tonight to see some very funny guys take the stage. We got an e-mail from Bostonist's comedian friend, Todd Barry, a few weeks ago about him teaming up with fellow funnyman Eugene Mirman at the Middle East. Bostonist first......

Cathleen Carr and Daiva Deupree explore the darker side of lady-likeness in "Two Girls for Five Bucks". Born just over a year ago in Beantown’s backyard, “Two Girls for Five Bucks” has since expanded to New York City but returned home this month for their first annual “Two Girls for Five Bucks, Holiday Pageant." Last night, Bostonist was lucky enough to be at the Improv Asylum (where these two ladies are also main stage alums)......

Yes, we know it’s cliché to love the Christmas movie, “It’s a Wonderful Life” but every time we see lil’ Zuzu talk about an angel getting its wings, Bostonist goes straight into tears. The1946 Frank Capra film is like a bad habit we just can’t kick. Well, if you are jonesing for some George Bailey vs. Mr. Potter action tonight, the Brattle Theater is showing the black and white film tonight at 7:15 p.m. for......

While Bostonist usually spends Thursday night on the couch with the Donald and his flunkies, Bostonist ventured down to the North End last night to take in a show at the Improv Asylum. In a basement club on Hanover Street, the Improv Asylum is an entertaining show for a reasonable price of $15 ($20 for Friday and Saturday). With a group of 5 actors, they touched on subjects from Martha Stewart carrying on a love......
