Live Improv Comedy
Outpost Performance SpaceImprov comedy night at The Box, co-presented with Improv Theatre, meaning the performers likely have actual training and structure behind them rather than a loose open-mic feel.

Sorry Guero, Unseen Espiritu & Abscond

Launchpad's sound is genuinely good for a room that size on Central, and late-night shows there tend to draw a crowd that actually pays attention. Grab tickets ahead of time...

Oil Wrestling & Genderotic at El Rey
El Rey TheaterCenit's latest at El Rey stacks oil wrestling, live performances from Genderotic and Anjo King, and hosting duties split between Tasha Heart and Lito into one late-night bill that earns its own category. El Rey's long room and stage setup handle this kind of variety show format better than most Downtown spots, so sight lines...
