Jimmy eats world

No one crowd surfs quite like Jimmy Pardo, the rightful heir to Don Rickles' title as comedy's Insult King. The stand-up, who got his big break warming up "Conan" audiences, is hosting his critically acclaimed podcast "Never Not Funny" in Minneapolis, which means giving up a Sunday afternoon to sit indoors and potentially be ridiculed. Take the plunge, hockey puck. (3 p.m. Sun., Acme Comedy Co., 708 N. 1st St., Mpls. $25. acmecomedycompany.com)
