UPCOMING COMEDY SHOWS

Whether you’re a connoisseur of razor-sharp wit or just here for the relatable “dating in 2025 is a dumpster fire” bits, these shows have you covered. Expect punchlines that land harder than your last situationship, and comedians who roast themselves (and, occasionally, brave audience members) with the kind of precision usually reserved for Gordon Ramsay in a bad mood.

THIS WEEK

☁️ The Weather Station

Tonight & Tomorrow @ Mississippi Studios (8PM)

The Weather Station isn’t just another “sad girl with a guitar” act. Sometimes it’s a folk whisper, sometimes a jazz-tinged confession, sometimes a full-on art-rock fever dream.

🎤 Barrie

Tonight @ Holocene (8PM)

Blend retro synths with modern pop production and you have Brooklyn band Barrie. Get lost in the dreamy vibes coming to Holocene tonight!

👩 Momma

Tonight @ Aladdin Theater (8PM)

If you’re nostalgic for the days when rock bands had riffs, angst, and just the right amount of eyeliner, or if you just want to catch the next big thing before your little cousin puts them on a TikTok playlist-Momma’s your band.

🔥 Too Many Zoos

Tonight @ Revolution Hall (8PM)

Brass house, a genre so new and wild that Too Many Zoos had to invent the name themselves because nothing else could keep up. Get last-minute tickets!
