Flick your way into a century-old Canadian obsession.

The Ark · Old Fourth Ward • $40-$51.50
Equal parts genius and buffoon, songwriter-comic-singer-poet-musician Heywood Banks brings his humorous observations and twisted songs to The Ark for a single evening performance.
January 21 at 7:30pm
Arthur Miller Theatre · Northside
Anne Gridley turns her experience with a rare disease into a hilarious, biting solo show about disability, healthcare absurdities, and the stories we tell ourselves. No pity, all nerve: just one performer taking the stage with humor, grace, and justified anger.

Zingerman’s Bakehouse · Bryant Pattengill West • $$

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
