    Sunshine Theatre
    comedyTickets

    A rock opera built around Kevin McDonald, the Kids in the Hall member, staged for a single performance on the Box's mainstage. The Box is an intimate black-box space, so even the back row is close enough to catch every facial expression, which matters a lot in a show this concept-driven. Grab tickets ahead of...

    comedyTickets

    AJ Mathews takes the headliner slot for this stand-up night produced by local comedy promoter AJ DeLeon, whose shows tend to run with a full supporting lineup before the closer.

    Albuquerque Social Club
    Nob HilldanceTickets

    A full-night Madonna dance party at one of Nob Hill's most reliably fun LGBTQ+ bars, running from 9 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on a Saturday. The Social Club keeps its floor small and its crowd warm, which means this will feel like a house party with a good sound system rather than a club night....

    DowntownbarTickets

    DJ Brad Cole takes over Moonlight Lounge for Strange Mix, a late-night DJ set that runs from 9 PM to midnight on a Saturday in Downtown Albuquerque.

    The official afterparty for one of Albuquerque's longest-running tattoo conventions lands at Insideout with Speed One on the decks, running until 6 a.m. The crowd will be heavily tattooed, pleasantly wired, and not going home early, so if you are sensitive to either ink or late hours, recalibrate accordingly. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket,...

    Downtownhip hopTickets

    A hip-hop birthday celebration for Unique, with Long Beach rapper Glasses Malone (known for collaborations with Lil Wayne and The Game) coming in as the special guest. The Rythm Room lives mostly in blues and soul territory, so this is a departure for the room, but the PA handles low end and the floor opens...

    Mr. AfterHours Presents brings DJ Jenna Shaw to Effex for a late-night set that runs from 10 p.m. Saturday well into Sunday morning. Effex has one of the better sound systems on this stretch of Central, and the 360° format means the booth is centered in the room, so there is no bad spot on...
