The Cobra strikes

If only Ali Wong had followed her 2016 Netflix special, "Baby Cobra," with an aggressive tour schedule, she'd be stand-up's hottest comic. But motherhood, a supporting role on ABC's "American Housewife" and a newly inked deal to develop a movie with "Fresh Off the Boat" star Randall Park has kept her anchored in Los Angeles, severely cutting into any time on the road. That makes appearances like her one-night stand in Minneapolis a must-see for anyone who likes their comedy bold, brash and blue. 7 p.m. Sat., State Theatre, Mpls.; $45-$65. hennepintheatretrust.org
