There are plenty of options for those looking to get their laugh on around the Valley this weekend, with three acts in town that span the stand-up spectrum.

JERRY SEINFELD

One of the biggest names in comedy history — Jerry Seinfeld — will perform Friday, June 6 at the Dodge Theater in Phoenix. Most recently seen, kind of, as a voice in “Bee Movie” (which he also co-wrote and co-produced), he’s back doing stand-up, which originally made him famous in the late ’80s and led to his ultra-popular ’90s sitcom.

>> Jerry Seinfeld performs 7 p.m. Friday, June 6, at Dodge Theater, 400 W. Washington St., Phoenix. $48-$78. (602) 379-2800 or livenation.com.

CRAIG ROBINSON

Craig Robinson, best known for his role as Darryl the warehouse foreman on “The Office,” will be at the Tempe Improv for four nights. He’s also made his way around the Judd Apatow camp as of late, appearing in memorable “Knocked Up” and “Walk Hard” cameos.

<< Craig Robinson performs 8 p.m. Thursday, June 5 through Sunday, June 8, with a 10 p.m. show Friday, June 6, and Saturday, June 7, at the Tempe Improv, 930 E. University Drive. $15-$17. (480) 921-9877 or tempeimprov.com.

ANT

If you’ve ever watched VH1 in the last few years, you’ve probably seen Ant, who’s appearing at the Comedy Spot in Scottsdale this weekend. He’s hosted all six seasons of “Celebrity Fit Club” and most recently was eliminated second on the network’s show in which celebrities try to become magicians , “Celebracadabra.”

>> Ant performs 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. Friday, June 6 and Saturday, June 7 at The Comedy Spot, 7117 E. Third Ave., Scottsdale. $25. (480) 945-4422 or thecomedyspot.net.
