East Syracuse-bred funnyman Bobcat Goldthwait has been known lately for his behind-the-scenes moviemaking skills in edgy satires such as World’s Greatest Dad and God Bless America. Yet he started his career as a take-no-prisoners stand-up comic and he returns to those talents with a show on Friday, Sept. 14, 8 p.m., at the Mohawk Valley Community College Information Technology Building’s Shafer Theater, 1101 Sherman Drive, Utica. Admission is $20. For details, call 731-5721 or 792-5400.
