Three dancers, a guitarist, and a cantaor perform a full tablao-format flamenco show in one of the more architecturally appropriate rooms on the corridor. Hotel Albuquerque's space puts you close enough to hear the footwork, which is the whole point, so seats toward the middle of the floor tend to hit differently than the edges....
Five Albuquerque acts share a bill built around Green Day's catalog, with Alter Apex, Right On Kid, Dazeyrot, November Radio, and Shyguy each taking a turn. Launchpad's room rewards this kind of show, small enough that the energy compounds rather than dissipates, and the stage sight lines are good from basically anywhere. With five bands...
Five women share the stage for a blues night that is part of the Albuquerque Museum's 35th annual Music Under the Stars series, with Joanie Cere pulling the program together. The outdoor museum courtyard on a summer Saturday evening is one of the better concert settings on the corridor, though seating fills fast and the...
Improv Theatre brings a live, unscripted comedy show to The Box, a small black-box room on Central that rewards audiences willing to be in the room rather than watching from a distance. The Box runs intimate, so there is no bad seat, but there is also nowhere to hide if a performer pulls you in....
A late-night house party format event at The Lab At Stardust, running from 9 p.m. to nearly 1 a.m. local time on a Saturday into Sunday. The Lab tends to run intimate and sweaty, so if you need elbow room after midnight, adjust expectations accordingly. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so grab them ahead...
Three acts share the bill at Insideout on Central: Mango Cakes headlines, with Insideout and Angelina opening the night. The show starts at 9 p.m. local time, which puts the...
In the Box Annex is staging an improv-meets-cabaret mashup where the structure of a chorus line collides with the chaos of unscripted comedy, and the result is exactly as unpredictable...
Three DJs, one of the better sound systems on Central, and a crowd that tends to show up dressed with actual commitment. El Rey's long narrow floor creates a close-quarters energy that works in a night like this one's favor. Admission details weren't posted at time of listing, so check the ticket link before you...
A battle-format night pitting Toxicas against Toxicos, presented by Reklez Ent and A.M Ent at one of Downtown's more reliably loud rooms. The 10 PM local start and 4 AM wrap time tell you everything about the energy this event is built around. Grab tickets in advance since 515 Space fills fast when promoters with...
The cast takes audience suggestions and builds a Shakespeare-style play on the spot, iambic pentameter and all, in real time. The Box is a small, close room where the performers can see your face when a scene goes sideways, which adds something you don't get in a bigger theater. Shows here tend to run tight,...
