Get laughing: San Fran funnyman Al Madrigal, senior Latino correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and boyish star at the new NBC sitcom About A Boy, performs at the Comedy MIX tonight at 8 and 10:30 p.m.
Get intellectual: Tonight is the opening of Pacific Theatre’s production of the off-Broadway hit Freud’s Last Session, playwright Mark St. Garmain’s fictionalized mano a mano between heavy thinkers C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud over a game of chess during the outbreak of the Second World War.
Get avant garde: The Cinematheque, as part of the second annual Capture Photography Festival, screen a double-bill featuring Michael Snow's Wavelength and Michelangelo Antonioni’s Blow-Up. Two experimental films from the mid-sixties exploring the relationship between still photography and cinema.
Get old worldly: Local vocal ensemble Musica Intima present a modern take on the Venetian Feast of San Marco, a day when men traditionally give a single rosebud to the women they love, featuring ten singers, four sackbuts (aka Renaissance-era trombones) and a harpsichord tonight at the Chan Centre.
See a clutch performance: Your guess is as good as ours as to which band will hit the stage first when heavy metal heroes Mastodon and Clutch co-headline the second of two nights in a row at the Commodore Ballroom as part of their Missing Link tour April 23-24. Although the smart money is on Seattle’s Big Business to be the opening act both times.
