Michael Ian Black at WORD Brooklyn
Head Greenpoint-ward young comedy-lover, and catch Michael Ian Black in the cozy confines of neighborhood bookstore WORD, where he'll be reading from his latest tome You're Not Doing It Right. The book, which covers everything from meeting his wife, having kids and essentially becoming an adult, in addition to being hilarious, is apparently also quite touching.
WORD Brooklyn, 126 Franklin St., Greenpoint, Brooklyn. 7 p.m. $24 (includes copy of the book).

Mercury Lounge, 217 E. Houston St. 6:30 p.m. $15.
