‘HOW DID THIS GET MADE?’ LIVE at the Beacon Theater (July 24, 7:30 and 10 p.m.). The comedy couple Paul Scheer and June Diane Raphael and their funny friend Jason Mantzoukas have appeared in many popular TV shows and movies. Their long-running podcast explores and makes fun of films that tanked at the box office but continue to capture our collective imagination, and now they’re taking their cinematic criticism on the road and to the Beacon. The show at 7:30 p.m. has sold out, but tickets remain for the one at 10, during which they dissect “The Master of Disguise,” the 2002 movie starring Dana Carvey.

CARMEN LYNCH at the Creek and the Cave (July 19-20, 7 p.m.). In 2017, Lynch released the album “Dance Like You Don’t Need the Money,” which Jason Zinoman of The New York Times called “punchy and quick, shifting with alacrity from bits about family to dating.” Since then, Lynch took her show “Lynched” to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and toured Europe. Find out what she’s joking about now before she presents her newest hour of material in Montreal next week at the Just for Laughs comedy festival.
