  • Bawdy Blue: A Burlesque Revue

    Bryant-Lake Bowl Theater

    A new burlesque revue called Bawdy Blue is going to shake things up at the Bryant-Lake Bowl this Thursday. Chelsea Wren Hanvy, a.k.a. Poppy Raucos, formed the group four months ago. "I've always been attracted to the cleverness of old-school burlesque," Hanvy stated. "It gives the power to the woman, who may or may not allow you to see some skin. I think the tease is a very powerful thing."... More >>

  • Lady Gaga Vision

    Nevermind Gallery

    In this era of hyper-celebrity, Lady Gaga may be one of its biggest icons. It has only been about two years since The Fame came out, and since that time the pop star has gone through over a dozen looks (right now she appears to be in a Cher stage), weathered several controversies (Bird flipping at baseball games! Gender confusion! Violent cartoon-y videos banned from YouTube!), and embarked on... More >>

  • Sean Patton

    Acme Comedy Co.

    They say that talk-show appearances don't do as much as they used to for standup comics. However, the heat was on Sean Patton after a hilarious visit to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last winter. The New Orleans native adeptly gave viewers a snapshot of his stage act, relating some observations about relationships as well as a story about a fight he almost got into. When the altercation broke... More >>

  • B-Girl Be: Carnival Dance Showcase and Block Party

    Intermedia Arts

    For the past couple weeks Intermedia Arts has hosted a slew of really great B-Girl events, including a writing workshop with local spoken-word artist Desdamona; "Sideshow" gallery show highlighting hip-hop art; and Innaviews, an acclaimed hip-hop history production. The celebration continues this week with the happenings that B-Girl Be is perhaps best-known for: dance and live art.... More >>

  • Minnesota State Fair

    Minnesota State Fairgrounds

    It's common to have mixed feelings each year as the Minnesota State Fair comes around. On one hand, it signals the twilight of summer; soon the BBQs, the evening swims at the lake, and the beers consumed outside on the sunny patio will come to an end as the season winds down. On the other hand, there really isn't a more fitting (or tasty) last hurrah out there. The list of activities and... More >>

  • Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.

    400 Bar

    Being a Dale Earnhardt, Jr. fan hasn't been much fun for the past couple NASCAR seasons; despite crew chief switcheroos and sponsorship shifts, the Intimidator's most celebrated progeny hasn't been able to make much racing magic happen. Being a Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. fan, on the other hand, is proving a bit more satisfying; this lawsuit-baiting Detroit outfit is making a borrowed name for... More >>

  • PBR/Bedlam Blowout

    Bedlam Theater

    Before the Bedlam gang packs up their stilts, boas, pint glasses, and piano, putting everything in storage until they find a permanent space, they're having one last bash of debauchery complete with a fire show, tons of music, dancing, and drinking. Perhaps in the spirit of Dionysus, the Greek God of wine, theater, and ritual madness, the Bedlam chefs will be serving up roast goat (one of the... More >>

  • B-Girl Be Carnival! Block Party

    Intermedia Arts

    Part park-party revival by females, part bring-your-daughter-to-hip-hop day, this recurring, one-of-a-kind celebration of women in rap, graffiti, and hip-hop dance is so much fun that its uplift can feel like a bonus. DJ Pam the Funkstress of Oakland rap greats the Coup headlines with witty New York rapper Amanda Diva opening, but the highlights are all around: live aerosol murals going up... More >>

  • New Labor (7''-release)

    Hexagon Bar

    In an age when many bands have their first demo recorded before they've even played a show, New Labor, formed in 2008, have taken nearly two years before creating a record. "Songwriting has been a main priority over the last couple years," vocalist Andy Bauer explains. "Also, we all have pretty busy lives outside of the world of rock." Their self-titled, self-released debut is a beautiful slab... More >>

  • Tales of Hoffmann: A Picnic Operetta

    Midway Green Spirit Community Garden

    This summer Mixed Precipitation (MP) has brought back their hugely popular Picnic Operetta tour in community gardens throughout the metro area. Last year MP performed Orpheus and Eurydice, and this year they return with a modern take on the classic opera Tales of Hoffman. Music director Eric Pearson has arranged the score based on Jacque Offenbach's work (with a little '80s pop thrown in for... More >>

  • Sugar Sammy

    Rick Bronson's House of Comedy

    American funnyman Bert Kreischer famously turned his college partying into a successful standup career. His Canadian counterpart may well be Sugar Sammy. "When I was in university," the McGill alum explains, "I used to throw parties to pay my tuition." Sammy made sure pretty girls were on the guest list, that they got in, and that they drank for free. "My parties were a big hit. If you have... More >>

  • Summer Movie Series: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

    Brit's Pub

    For many, free outdoor movie screenings are as crucial to the summertime experience as BBQs and afternoons at the pool. But as the season winds to an end, so do the scheduled flicks. And alas, this Monday night marks the end of the rooftop films at Brit's Pub for the summer. Screenings are held on the outdoor patio, which is almost like watching something at a park; the bar has a lush green... More >>

  • Nas & Damian Marley

    First Avenue

    Whether it's Busy Signal absorbing Chalie Boy or M.I.A. absorbing both, fertility along the rap-reggae border is eternal and very 2010. Yet nobody quite expected Queens hip-hop lifer Nas and toasting Jamaican scion Damian Marley, both living up to legends bigger than their present-day selves, to sound as good as they do together. The conceptual link is Africa, diasporic connections as specific... More >>

  • The Works: A Writers Salon

    Bryant-Lake Bowl Theater

    Describing the writing process can be murky at best. What works for one may not work for another. Ultimately what it boils down to is basically not how you write, but simply writing at all. Regardless of one's personal preferences, how authors choose to put words to eyes is always interesting. At this monthly talk hosted by Lightsey Darst, creative types present their thoughts on the ethics,... More >>

  • Funniest Person in the Twin Cities Finals

    Acme Comedy Co.

    Sure, you're pretty funny when you're drinking with your friends on the porch, but can you actually make audiences laugh as you perform onstage? This is the test that entrants in Acme's yearly contest must face. When the event began 18 years ago, 20 people competed over four weeks. This year 200 novice funny men and ladies told their best stories, punch lines, and zingers in three-minute sets.... More >>

  • New Pictures 3: James Welling, Glass House

    Minneapolis Institute of Arts

    This will be the third exhibition for this series highlighting heavy-hitting media artists from around the world. James Welling has gained recognition over the years for his carefully controlled black-and-white photographs of tin foil, gelatin, and dough. The work exhibited for New Pictures 3 is much more colorful, but still meticulous. In this series, Welling captures images of Philip... More >>

  • A Shot in the Dark

    Walker Art Center

    Spanning genres and decades, the newest exhibit at the Walker Art Center, "A Shot in the Dark," showcases pieces that range beyond their commonness to express concepts and emotions from other times and places. Comprised entirely of newly acquisitioned and rarely seen works, the exhibit features three moving-image pieces. Mircea Cantor's 16mm silent film Deepature depicts a deer and a wolf in... More >>
