Best bets for Sept. 30-Oct. 5
 
COMEDY | LOUIE ANDERSON

Oct. 1-2. Louie Anderson and the other elder statesmen of Twin Cities comedy are continuing their giddy reunion with shows at the St. Paul Hotel. Anderson's national accomplishments are as known here and elsewhere as Garrison Keillor's, marked by scores of TV appearances and shows modeled after him. Anderson's compadres have deep resumes of their own. Alex Cole, Bill Bauer, Jeff Gerbino and Scott Hansen are all regional headliners, individually, with their own network credentials. Together, they're calling themselves the Original Stand Up Guys. 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. Friday-Saturday; St. Paul Hotel, 350 Market St., St. Paul; $50-$25; 651-224-4222. — Matt Peiken
