Sun. Dec . 10

 With a surname of "Sullivan" it's no surprise to you, I'm sure, that I grew up Catholic. An altar boy even. It may be no surprise that I haven't called myself Catholic for many years, or, as comic Denis Leary says, "I reached the age of reason." (This considering virgin births, water walking, resurrections etc.) So, I might not be a part of the Church but I've been stamped by it and thus what Father Aloysius Misgivings is offering at the Regent Theatre in Arlington Sunday Dec. 10 has appeal. The good father is really comic Dave Kane, whose alter-ego was created many years ago when he produced a local talk radio show and created an Irish-Catholic character to banter with the host during a slow shift. A career was born. He's done the roast and banquet cirquit, he's opened for Art Garfunkel and Al Martino, he's produced a dinner-theater show called "Misgivings." It's a good guess that Father Misgivings will take you through the minefield of Catholicism (birth control, celibacy for priests, bingo) and tickle your funnybone or strike a nerve. Warning: This comedic show is interactive and includes a raffle and bingo game. The Saturday show is at 8 p.m. and the Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. Tickets: $27.50-$22.50.
