Tonight on the corridor
A comedy debate show presented by In the Box Annex, running just an hour at a genuinely odd hour of the night, which tells you something about the crowd it's built for. The Box is a small, purposeful room that rewards the format, close enough to the stage that a bad argument lands right in...
Burque Baddies is throwing a Y2K-era dance night at Insideout, with DJs Genderotic and Mischievous trading off sets across hip-hop, R&B, and reggaeton. Insideout runs queer-centered events and has a dance floor that actually gets used, so this one is built for people who came to move. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so grab...
Tomboy takes over Insideout for a night built around the era when hip-hop, R&B, and reggaeton were all fighting for the same radio slot, and winning. Insideout runs late and the dance floor there earns its reputation, so this one is better suited to people who arrive after midnight than people who leave before it....
Mr. AfterHours Presents brings the WHF 360° series to Effex for a Murphy's Law night, which in after-hours DJ culture means the format bends to wherever the energy goes rather than a locked setlist or rigid lineup. Effex runs late legitimately, with a liquor license that holds up past 2am, so this is one of...
Long-form improv at The Box means no sketch templates, no safety net, just a troupe building something from nothing in real time over a sustained run. The Box keeps its house tight, so you'll be close enough to see the performers' faces when a scene goes somewhere nobody planned. A ticket link exists, so grab...
This is a proper afterparty, kicking off at 8:30 a.m. and running until 11, so read that correctly: the night rolls straight into morning after CrankDat wraps. Luna Kava Root is a kava bar, not a liquor bar, which actually makes a late-night-turned-early-morning crowd more functional than you might expect. Tickets are through Hold My...
Waylon Bailey brings his guitar to Marble's Downtown taproom, one of the more reliably good live music setups on the Central corridor. The courtyard here stays loud with ambient crowd noise on a Saturday night, so this works better as a social listen than a sit-down-and-absorb situation. Check the ticket link for cover details before...
Albuquerque's own ABBA tribute act takes the Marble Downtown stage, which means you're getting "Dancing Queen" with a cold lager in hand and the Sandia Mountains going pink in the background if the timing works out. The outdoor patio here fills fast for anything with a singalong factor this high, so arriving early is less...
New Mexico United brings USL Championship soccer to the stadium that sits right on the Central Avenue corridor, this time against FC Tulsa in what the standings will likely make...
A seated dinner show pairing live flamenco, guitar, and cante jondo in the Old Town anchor hotel that has hosted this residency long enough to get the format right. The room is intimate enough that you will feel the footwork in your chest, which is either the whole point or a dealbreaker depending on your...
