COMEDY

UCB Watch a mind-numbingly uncomfortable Thanksgiving dinner unfold as performers from the comedy troupe the Upright Citizens Brigade improvise a meal.

Braaaaaainsgiving Zombie Party If you’re a zombie, Thanksgiving is just another day when you’re grateful for a meal — so long as it’s made of brains. Mark Mogk, capitalizing on the zombie trend (they’re the new vampires), will present his zombie handbooks with a lecture and slide show. “Everything You Wanted to Know About Zombies” promises to answer all your queries about the undead. La Luz de Jesus Gallery, 4633 Hollywood Blvd. 7 p.m. (323) 666-7667.
