October 14 at 7:30pm +12
New Conservatory Theatre Center · Civic Center
A bloodthirsty plant named Audrey II takes root at NCTC's intimate queer theater. This campy cult classic serves up doo-wop, dark laughs, and one very hungry horticultural nightmare.
October 15 at 12:30pm
Yerba Buena Gardens · South of Market • Free
Saxophonist Richard Howell channels Coltrane on the Great Lawn, turning downtown's lunch hour into a free open-air jazz set. Claim a patch of grass and let the solos do the rest.
October 17 at 3am (This weekend) +8
Hillbarn Theatre · Foster City
Two wannabe writers pitch their Broadway epic about the printing-press inventor, playing every character with nothing but hats. Gutenberg! The Musical! is a gloriously silly love letter to big dreams.
October 17 at 7:30pm (This weekend)
Marin County Fair · San Rafael
No instruments, no backing tracks, just voices battling for the national title. Regional champions from across the country take the Marin Center stage for one night of jaw-dropping vocal harmony.
October 17 at 7:30pm (This weekend)
Lesher Center for the Arts · Walnut Creek
Walnut Creek's cultural living room, where local talent and touring acts share the spotlight. Three stages, an art gallery, and ticket prices that won't make you wince.
October 17 at 7pm (This weekend) +7
Medicine for Nightmares · Mission District
The Father of Chicano Music gets a rasquache remix: four pocho poets and musicians reinvent Lalo Guerrero's songs with verse, humor, and heart inside a beloved Mission bookstore.
Browse the Bay Area neighborhood by neighborhood, get ideas just for you, or ask me anything.

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.
