November 15 at 4:30am (This weekend) +5
Exit Theatre · Tenderloin • Free
Watch theater get born in real time. Writers sprint for 30 minutes to create fresh monologues, then actors breathe them to life on the spot. It's raw, it's ridiculous, and it's completely free.
November 15 at 2pm (This weekend) +7
New Conservatory Theatre Center · Civic Center
Two men sit in a cubicle, reducing components to the bare minimum in a transformative play about hope. Visitors attend a ninety-minute performance without intermission at the New Conservatory Theatre Center.
Sundays
The Spotlight Comedy (Secret Comedy Show) · Union Square • Free
SF's only weekly Desi comedy night takes over a secret venue near BART, with top Bay Area comics of South Asian descent cracking wise every Saturday. Free entry, big laughs.
Sundays
Moe Greens Dispensary & Lounge · Civic Center • Free
The only comedy show in San Francisco where you can legally light up during the set. HellaFunny brings 4-5 curated comics to Moe Greens' swanky cannabis lounge every Saturday: velvet booths, state-of-the-art ventilation, and 70 minutes of standup that hits different.
Weekends
447 Minna St · SoMa
Thirty tiny plays, one ticking clock, zero fourth wall. The SF Neo-Futurists sprint through an ever-changing lineup of personal, political, and wildly funny mini-plays, and the audience calls the order.
November 20 at 9pm +50
West SoMa • $16
Thirty tiny plays, one frantic hour, zero intermission. The San Francisco Neo-Futurists sprint through a wild grab bag of scenes that range from hilarious to heartbreaking, and you never know what's next.
Browse San Francisco neighborhood by neighborhood, get ideas just for you, or ask me anything.

New Conservatory Theatre Center is worth checking for intimate productions and queer stories. For an evening built around dancing, look at the programme at Madrone Art Bar. Pick the production or music first; the room is only half the decision.
Tell me whether you mean San Francisco itself or the wider Bay Area. Add your neighbourhood, transport, and how long you’re willing to spend getting there. A good event needs to fit the journey home, too.
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.
