• Blue Show Improv Comedy

    Outpost Performance Space
    UNM AreacomedyTickets

    Improv Theatre brings its Blue Show to The Box, an hour of unscripted comedy built entirely in the moment by a cast that has been doing this long enough to make the hard stuff look casual. The Box is a small, focused room where the audience is close enough to the performers that your reactions...

  • Hard Techno Night at SPACE AT 515

    SPACE AT 515
    house/technoDetails

    Three DJs covering hard techno and industrial, with Amayah headlining alongside 00.42.00 and Ana M at SPACE AT 515. The 360° in the title is not decorative, this room is configured to put the booth in the center, which changes how the sound hits you compared to a standard stage setup. Start time is unconfirmed,...

  • SNTA 360° with Amayah at SPACE AT 515 Downtown

    DowntownelectronicTickets

    Mr. AfterHours Presents brings a 360° production format to SPACE AT 515, with Amayah headlining and sets from 00.42.00 and Ana M. filling out the night. The 360° setup means the DJ booth is likely centered in the room, which changes the floor dynamic considerably from a standard stage-facing setup. Tickets are through Hold My...

  • Improvised Shakespeare at The Box

    Outpost Performance Space
    UNM AreatheaterTickets

    The performers take audience suggestions and build an entire Shakespearean play on the spot, iambic pentameter and all. The Box is a small black-box room where the audience sits close enough to watch the improvisers' faces when a scene goes sideways, which is half the pleasure. At 45 minutes, it's a tight enough window that...

  • Thank You, Five! Mod ’60s Variety Show

    Outpost Performance Space
    UNM Areaarts & cultureTickets

    Hosted by Kopidion, this mod '60s variety show plays in The Box's black-box format, which tends to collapse the distance between performers and audience in ways that bigger stages simply can't. The one-hour runtime is tight by variety-show standards, so expect something punchy rather than sprawling. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, and given the...

  • Isotopes vs. Space Cowboys

    Isotopes Park
    UNM AreacasualTickets

    Triple-A ball under the Sandia sunset, with the Isotopes taking on Sugar Land in what is reliably one of the better mid-summer crowds of the home schedule. Isotopes Park sits...

  • Ay, Compadre! Live on Route 66 at South Broadway

    South Broadway Cultural Center
    arts & cultureDetails

    Sandia Performing Arts Company brings Ay, Compadre! to South Broadway Cultural Center, one of the corridor's most underused but genuinely capable performance spaces. The city-run venue keeps ticket prices accessible, and the room is intimate enough that there isn't a bad seat in the house. Check the CABQ events page for admission details, since the...

  • Tablao Flamenco Sunday Matinee

    Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque at Hotel Albuquerque
    afternoon matineeTickets

    Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque runs weekly Sunday matinees in a dedicated tablao space inside Hotel Albuquerque, one of the few venues in the state presenting this art form in a proper sit-down format rather than as dinner-show background noise. The specific performers are still being announced for this date, so check the ticket page closer in...

  • Supernatural Sundays with Jordan Jonas

    Painted Lady Bed & Brew
    Wells Parkdate nightTickets

    Jordan Jonas hosts a paranormal-themed evening at Painted Lady Bed & Brew as part of the ongoing Brews and Boos series, which has built a quietly devoted following along this stretch of Central. The bed-and-brew format means the crowd tends to skew curious and unhurried rather than rowdy, so if you want to actually hear...

  • Cruise Control & Speed One Live

    Inside Out
    Downtownlive musicTickets

    Two acts, a ticket link, and a 5 a.m. close time: this is a genuine late-night at Insideout, the kind of night that doesn't get started until most of Albuquerque is already asleep. Insideout is a compact room on Central, which means the sound hits hard and personal whether the crowd is three deep or...
