November 8 at 12:15am (This weekend)
House of Yes · Bushwick
Dirty Circus is a long-running variety show featuring a mix of circus arts, cabaret, burlesque, aerial acrobatics, pole dancing, drag, and sideshow acts. It is a three-act performance not for the faint of heart.
November 7 at 10:30pm (This weekend)
Level Restaurant & Bar · Gravesend • $$$$
Step into a world of power suits and provocative fantasy as acrobatic dancers and a live vocalist transform the restaurant into a bold late-night spectacle of desire and illusion.
Every day
St. Ann's Warehouse · Dumbo • $53
King Mark's Cornish court resembles Reservoir Dogs in Emma Rice's theatrical production, where King Mark sends Tristan to collect Yseult, his Irish bride-to-be, setting off a tragic romance staged with low-fi aerial acrobatics and a live band.
November 8 at 1am (This weekend)
BK Made Comedy · Bushwick
Big-league laughs, dive-bar rules: comics from Netflix and HBO squeeze into a tiny Bushwick room where you bring the booze and they bring free Tony's Pizza slices.
November 7 at 7pm (This weekend)
Kings County Distillery · Brooklyn Navy Yard
Learn to nose and taste whiskey like a distiller at New York City's oldest distillery. You'll work through five premium handcrafted pours while picking up pro techniques to train your palate, plus meet the working cats who call the barrel house home.
Nov. 7 & Nov. 8 at 3pm
The Dumbo Loft · Dumbo
Blank canvas in, finished painting out: a guided abstract class inside a working DUMBO gallery loft. Pick your vibe, from slow color washes to full-on paint flinging, and take your masterpiece home.
Every day
Gotham Archery - Brooklyn · Gowanus • $45
Channel your inner Hawkeye in a one-hour crash course that takes you from zero to actually hitting targets. Patient instructors break down stance, aim, and release into simple steps, then let you loose for 40 minutes of shooting practice plus a friendly competition. All gear provided, just bring your focus (and maybe a little competitive spirit).
Every day at 6pm from Nov. 3 to Dec. 8
Artshack Brooklyn Ceramics · Bedford-Stuyvesant
Get your hands dirty with the chemistry of color. This six-week class teaches you to mix, test, and fire glazes so you can craft surfaces that are truly your own.

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.

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.
