Street Smart Alec

Dov Davidoff is a man of many talents. In addition to touring the country with his stand-up comedy set, he has also found steady work as a serious actor in the past few years. He starred with Mark Wahlberg in the film Invincible and was a series regular on the short-lived cop drama Raines last spring. A solid actor, Davidoff is even more accomplished at making people laugh. His streetwise demeanor gives way to bewilderment, particularly when it comes to things in life that should be simple but end up being the opposite.

“I walked into a Starbucks and the guy got my order wrong, which is fine,” Davidoff says. “But he had this attitude. I’m like, ‘That’s the wrong drink.’ He said, “Sorry, dude. I’m tired.’ ‘Well, then have a coffee! That’s why I’m here.’” Davidoff will perform at the Miami Improv, 3390 Mary St., Coconut Grove, through January 6. Tonight’s showtime is 10:45. Tickets cost $16.05.
