Big-time comedy

Cedric “The Entertainer” has been, well, entertaining the masses for more than two decades. Sure, he’s had his fair share of duds (ahem, Big Momma’s House), but you don’t become a successful celebrity without weathering a few bad films. Mix in a healthy serving of hit movies and eventually celebrities like Cedric come to a point where quotation marks become part of their name, charitable foundations are named after them and they can charge up to $65.50 for people to laugh at them. Yeah, it’s quite pricey for a comedy show, but he’s “The Entertainer.” And admittedly, he’s quite funny. So dip into those savings if you have to and laugh your ass off.

Cedric “The Entertainer” will perform Saturday, July 24, at 8 p.m.; $35.50-$65.50. Sacramento Memorial Auditorium, 1515 J Street; (916) 808-5181.
