It’s a big week for comedy, with three acts coming to the Spokane Comedy Club.

Up first is Boston’s Joe List (Saturday) who has done a little bit of everything over the course of his nearly 20-year career.

There’s TV appearances, (“The Late Show with David Letterman,” “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” “Conan,” Comedy Central, “Last Comic Standing), live albums (“So Far No Good,” “Are You Mad at Me?”) and a podcast (“Tuesdays With Stories” with comedian Mark Normand).

Earlier this year, List released a special as part of Netflix’s “The Standups.”

On Wednesday, wrestling legend Mick Foley will stop by the club on his “Twenty Years of Hell” tour.

After sharing memories of his time wrestling in and around Spokane, Foley will get into the good stuff: recounting the infamous “Hell in a Cell” match from 1998 that found him falling off and through the Cell structure and shaking off a bout of unconsciousness to finish the match with a bloody mouth and a missing front tooth.

Before sending fans on their way, Foley will answer audience questions about anything he didn’t cover during the show.

Closing the week is Tony Hinchcliffe (Thursday through May 5), who’s known for his dark sense of humor and ability to roast members of the audience at the drop of a hat.

Hinchcliffe has written for the Comedy Central Roasts of Justin Bieber, Rob Lowe and James Franco and is a frequent guest on “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

Hinchcliffe hosts his own live podcast, “Kill Tony,” and he released his first comedy special, “One Shot,” in 2016 through Netflix.
