In  the year 2000, after emerging as a platform for new hip-hop artists, the Lyricist Lounge revolutionized sketch comedy by partnering with MTV to become the first organization to set sketch comedy to a beat. The Lyricist Lounge Sketch Show returns to Atlanta for the second time in as many months, with original MTV cast member Wordsworth on-hand as a host, along with co-hosted Fort Knox.

The evening will feature classic Lyricist Lounge footage throughout the night. In addition to original sketch comedy by 4-IZE, Boog Brown, Headkrack, and U George, the event features performances by Amauri the Great, Ekundayo the MountenLiun, and recent internet sensation Grey. DJ sets from Dug Boogie and DJ Majestik.

$10. 8 p.m. Sat., Dec. 10. Aisle 5, 1123 Euclid Ave. N.E. www.aisle5atl.com.
