Arlington’s own Dane Cook is in the big time, with a bestselling CD, a boffo nationwide tour, and an HBO special to his credit; closer to home, Charlestown’s comedic duo the Walsh Brothers are on the verge of a showbiz breakthrough. Tonight, we profile these homegrown talents.

Plus, we’ll drop in on a Comedy Central tryout in Beantown, as local standups compete to get a slot on the home of Jon Stewart and The Daily Show.

And, the Internet is the place to find cutting edge comedy; we’ll meet some Bostonians who are making a name on the Web.
