The I, Anonymous Show!
It’s back! One of Portland’s funniest (and sauciest) comedy nights, the I, Anonymous Show, returns for its August outing, with more of the crazy rants, curious confessions, and hilarious secrets that has made this weekly Mercury column such a beloved part of our paper. Plus it’s hosted by no other than the recently crowned “Funniest Person in Portland” Caitlin Weierhauser, who will be joined by a slam-bang lineup of very smart and amusing panelists including Shain Brenden, Matt Monroe, and Seattle’s Nick Sahoyah. Together they will read true I, Anonymous submissions from the Mercury column and blog, and offer their very funny opinions on each and every one. It’s like if Judge Judy was really funny, and ruled on things that were even less important. Trust me, the I, Anonymous Show is a blast! Don’t miss it! WM. STEVEN HUMPHREY
7:30 pm, Curious Comedy Theater, $10-15

Robert Moor
Robert Moor's On Trails: An Exploration is one of the most acclaimed books of the past several years—a nonfiction tale in which Moore examines how trails connect the planet's places, people, animals, and ideas. Spanning eons and continents, On Trails wanders from the Appalachian Trail to the internet's data streams, and hearing Moor read from it tonight should help tide you over until this weekend's hike.

Red Rock West
If you missed John Dahl’s 1993 neo-noir classic when it was first released, count yourself among... well, everybody. The film basically went straight-to-video in the days where straight-to-video didn’t mean Netflix. It meant people had to stumble over it as they wandered Blockbuster like a Saturday night zombie, and gamble on a VHS cover featuring Nicolas Cage in a Canadian tuxedo, one of the Twin Peaks girls, and King Koopa from the Super Mario Bros. movie. And the people who took that bet got their socks rocked off by the darkly funny, cold-as-ice crime thriller expertly executed by Dahl, with a supporting cast that includes the quietly creepy Dwight Yoakam and the always great J.T. Walsh. BOBBY ROBERTS
7:10 pm, Laurelhurst Theater, $3-4
