Billing Deb Filler as “New Zealand’s funniest 91传媒 export” may beg us to try to think of just one other funny Kiwi, period. But heaped on top of that somewhat faint praise are glowing reviews from many publications, including the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Boston Globe. Tonight, the comic actress, who’s also been called “consistently clever,” “warm,” “gifted” and “funny,” presents “Don’t Get Me Started” at Steinway Hall.

8 p.m. $25. Steinway Hall at Fields Pianos, 12121 W. Pico Blvd., Los Angeles. R.S.V.P., (310) 471-3979.
