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

‘BAPHTA PRESENTS: A NANCY MEYERS RETROSPECTIVE’ at Spectacle Theater (Aug. 14, 7:30 p.m.). Not to be confused with the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, BAPHTA is a new showcase in which comedians celebrate movie directors. First up is Nancy Meyers, who directed rom-coms like “Something’s Gotta Give” and “It’s Complicated.” The hosts Tim Kov, Andy Ward and Manning Jordan welcome Peter Valenti, Marcia Belsky, Sabrina Wu and Hayden Maxwell to send up Meyers through monologues, skits, video clips and other means at this screening room in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

‘ALEX EDELMAN: JUST FOR US’ at Union Hall (Aug. 15, 8:15 p.m.). This winner of best newcomer honors at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2014 tells the tale of a meeting of neo-Nazis that Edelman, himself an Orthodox Jew, attended last year. Don’t worry. It is funny. Funny enough to win raves in Britain and Australia, where Edelman’s show was nominated for the top prize at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
