Mo Mandel is not Howie Mandel's son. But the twentysomething comedian does have some interesting Jewish parents. Apparently, the free spirits (or hippies, as he refers to them) stuck their white son with an Indian first name. It's something that starts with Mo, hence the nickname. The comic pretends to be annoyed, but at least Mom and Dad's unconventional choice gives him material. Mandel has performed on The Late, Late Show With Craig Ferguson and won Comedy Central's "Open Mic Fight" contest in 2007. Tonight at 8, Mandel begins a five-night engagement at Stanford's Comedy Club (1867 Village West Parkway, at the Legends). He performs again at 8 p.m. May 14, at 7:45 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. May 15 and 16, and at 7 p.m. May 17. Call 913-400-7500 for reservations.
Wed., May 13, 8 p.m.; Thu., May 14, 8 p.m.; Fri., May 15, 7:45 & 9:45 p.m.; Sat., May 16, 9:45 p.m.; Sun., May 17, 7 p.m., 2009
