Despite the fact that Altcom sounds like a sci-fi convention where people might show up dressed like characters from "Battlestar Galactica," it's actually short for Alternative Comedy Fest, and the event, which is tonight and tomorrow night at the Somerville Theatre, is Galactica-free (as far as we know).
