Happening Sunday: Charlie Murphy, Joy Classic and Small Apartments, and more

-Charlie Murphy: Being a stand-up comedian must be tough. Being a stand-up comedian and Eddie Murphy's older brother must be tougher. But Charlie Murphy has worked his chops in many reputable ventures, including as a writer and cast member on the dearly departed "Chapelle Show." And if Eddie's wit is any reflection of Charlie's, we have good reason to support the lesser-known Murphy. Through Dec. 7, Baltimore Comedy Factory, 5625 O'Donnell St., (410) 547-7798, baltimorecomedy.com, $25-$33.
