Three bailaoras, a cantaor, and a guitarist perform a full tablao-format flamenco show inside Hotel Albuquerque, one of the few venues on the corridor built for this kind of presentation. The room is intimate enough that you will hear the footwork on the floor and feel the call-and-response between dancer and singer the way it...
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...
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 is a small black-box room where the audience is close enough to make eye contact with performers, which either energizes a show or exposes a...
Jacob Chavez takes the stage at Tractor Brewing's Nob Hill location, one of the more reliably good rooms on this stretch of Central for catching a local act up close. The ticket link through 505 Live Music suggests this one has a cover, so check before you show up assuming it's a free patio night....
In The Box Annex is bringing their quiz show format into The Box Performance Space, a black-box theater on Central that tends to reward audiences willing to play along with something a little weirder than a bar trivia night. The 45-minute runtime is short by design, so this is probably one piece of a longer...
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...
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...
Tina, a local instructor, leads a two-hour tie-dye workshop at this kava bar and community hangout on the UNM stretch of Central. The $5 bring-your-own or $10 buy-there shirt pricing...
Stand-up comedy at one of the more low-key spots on this stretch of Central, where the bar runs kava and kratom instead of well drinks. The room is intimate enough...
Toni Morgan and Michael Matison bring a paired vocal concept to jazz standards, trading and blending across the classic American songbook. Outpost is one of the few rooms in Albuquerque built for listening rather than drinking, so the audience actually goes quiet and the nuance lands. Tickets are through 505livemusic.com, and this room sells out...
