Our guide to stand-up, improv and variety shows happening this weekend and in the week ahead.

MARIO CANTONE at Café Carlyle (Oct. 22-26, 8:45 p.m.). This stand-up comedian and actor became a New York City fixture in the 2000s, starring in Broadway shows such as “Assassins” and “Laugh Whore,” the latter of which begot a Showtime special; appearing on HBO’s “Sex and the City”; and starting his longstanding guest co-host gig on ABC’s daytime talker “The View.” He has previously put his musical chops to good use on parodies of Judy Garland, Jim Morrison, Peggy Lee, Bruce Springsteen and Liza Minnelli, some of which he will likely reprise during his five-night cabaret run at this hotel lounge.

‘MY BROTHER, MY BROTHER AND ME’ at Kings Theater (Oct. 18-19, 7 p.m.). On this popular podcast, which was briefly a TV series on the erstwhile streaming platform Seeso, the brothers McElroy — Justin, Travis and Griffin — tackle any question on any subject. Since May, they have been sporadically recording live episodes in cities in the Midwest and along the Eastern Seaboard, and now they’ve made their way to Brooklyn. Friday night’s show has sold out, but tickets are still available for Saturday.
