  • Live Improv Comedy

    Outpost Performance Space
    UNM AreacomedyTickets

    Improv 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. The Box is a small, close-quarters room where there's no real bad seat, but there's also nowhere to hide if you get pulled into a bit. Tickets are...

  • Hybrid Minds Live

    Effex
    Downtownlate-nightDetails

    Hybrid Minds are one of the UK acts most responsible for pulling liquid DnB toward something that actually sounds like music rather than a stress test for subwoofers. Effex runs late and loud, so if you're coming from outside the neighborhood, plan around parking on that stretch of Central rather than assuming the lot. The...

  • Southwest Homegrown Tracks at Insideout

    Inside Out
    Downtownlive musicTickets

    A late-night showcase at one of Downtown's corridor anchors, running from 9 PM to midnight and built around regional artists doing original work. Insideout tends to reward the crowd that...

  • Sorry Guero, Unseen Espiritu & Abscond

    Launchpad
    Downtownlive musicTickets

    Three local acts share the Launchpad stage in what the ticket link suggests is a pre-sold, properly organized show rather than a last-minute walk-up situation. Launchpad's sound is genuinely good...

  • Oil Wrestling & Genderotic at El Rey

    El Rey Theater
    Downtowndrag/cabaretTickets

    Cenit'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...

  • Late-Night Improv Comedy at The Box

    Outpost Performance Space
    UNM AreacomedyTickets

    This is a 45-minute long-form improv set running from roughly 10:15 to 11 p.m. local time, presented jointly by The Box and Improv Theatre on the Central corridor. The Box...

  • Afters With The Cave at Luna Kava Root

    Gaia's Kava Root
    UNM AreaelectronicTickets

    This is the official after-party for the Hybrid Minds show, a late-night (or early-morning, depending on your relationship with Saturday) liquid drum and bass gathering running 8:30 to 11am at...
