Improv Theatre brings a live, unscripted comedy show to The Box, a small black-box room on Central that rewards audiences willing to be in the room rather than watching from a distance. The Box runs intimate, so there is no bad seat, but there is also nowhere to hide if a performer pulls you in....
A late-night house party format event at The Lab At Stardust, running from 9 p.m. to nearly 1 a.m. local time on a Saturday into Sunday. The Lab tends to run intimate and sweaty, so if you need elbow room after midnight, adjust expectations accordingly. Tickets are through Hold My Ticket, so grab them ahead...
Three acts share the bill at Insideout on Central: Mango Cakes headlines, with Insideout and Angelina opening the night. The show starts at 9 p.m. local time, which puts the...
In the Box Annex is staging an improv-meets-cabaret mashup where the structure of a chorus line collides with the chaos of unscripted comedy, and the result is exactly as unpredictable...
Three DJs, one of the better sound systems on Central, and a crowd that tends to show up dressed with actual commitment. El Rey's long narrow floor creates a close-quarters energy that works in a night like this one's favor. Admission details weren't posted at time of listing, so check the ticket link before you...
A battle-format night pitting Toxicas against Toxicos, presented by Reklez Ent and A.M Ent at one of Downtown's more reliably loud rooms. The 10 PM local start and 4 AM wrap time tell you everything about the energy this event is built around. Grab tickets in advance since 515 Space fills fast when promoters with...
The cast takes audience suggestions and builds a Shakespeare-style play on the spot, iambic pentameter and all, in real time. The Box is a small, close room where the performers can see your face when a scene goes sideways, which adds something you don't get in a bigger theater. Shows here tend to run tight,...
A one-hour tablao-format flamenco show inside Hotel Albuquerque, the kind of intimate setup where the performers are close enough that you feel the footwork in your chest. The specific artists are still TBD, but Tablao Flamenco Albuquerque consistently draws from a serious regional and national flamenco community, so the casting matters less than you might...
Jordan Jonas brings whatever he does best to Painted Lady's Brews & Boos series, a recurring supernatural-themed night at one of the more quietly interesting spots on the corridor. Painted Lady runs as both a bed and breakfast and a bar, so the crowd on any given Sunday skews eclectic in ways a standard venue...
Foxtide takes the stage at Launchpad, one of the few rooms on Central that still books with genuine curatorial instinct. The show runs late, starting around 8 or 9 PM local, which means the room won't hit its real energy until well after most people have already talked themselves out of going. Tickets are through...
