Lez Stand Up: Not Tired of Winning Yet
I fucking love Lez Stand Up. Not only is it one of the city’s absolute best queer-friendly comedy showcases, it’s one of the city’s best comedy shows, full stop. There’s a reason the ladies of Lez Stand Up sell out shows without trying: They’re really fucking funny, and when they fill a room, having people who aren’t straight white dudes on the bill isn’t a tokenizing afterthought. Portland's Funniest Person Caitlin Weierhauser hosts this iteration of Lez Stand Up, with comedy from Rinna Rem, Mel Heywood, Shilpa Joshi, Bob Wolf, Laura Anne Whitley, and Kirsten Kuppenbender.

Autonomics, Ice Queens, Devy Metal
Autonomics traffics in the kind of sloppy, speedy garage-rock meant to bang a few heads and spill a few beers. Witness it tonight when they headline the Doug Fir with fellow local rockers Ice Queens and Devy Metal.
Sept 2, 9 pm, Doug Fir, $7-10

Collide-O-Scope
Historically, the only things Portland's gotten from Seattle are an invasion of dead-eyed Amazon worker bees and a traffic epidemic. But every once in a while, something actually worthwhile comes from up north—like Collide-O-Scope, a live show that, for almost a decade, has been weirding out Seattle moviegoers with a campily curated mix of “educational films, B-movie gems, lost Euro-disco classics, news bloopers, and indescribable visual delights.” Tonight, Collide-O-Scope hits the Hollywood Theatre, and your eyes will never be the same.

Club Nitty Gritty
If you're looking for a dance night that sets the evening on fire, check out Club Nitty Gritty, hosted by the always down for a good time DJ Action Slacks (Shannon Wiberg). She's been pounding the turntables for years with righteous choices in down-home dirty soul—the kind with raw sax and voices that wail and scratch. WM. STEVEN HUMPHREY
Sept 2, 9 pm, (The World Famous) Kenton Club, $6

The Woolen Men, Honey Bucket, Months
Prolific local trio the Woolen Men are taking over the Spare Room for a record release party, and they're inviting some of their favorite local artists to help celebrate.
Sept 2, 9 pm, The Spare Room, $6

In the Cooky Jar
DJ Cooky Parker (Scott Magee, to his mama) has hosted In the Cooky Jar for seven years, beginning at the much-missed Woods before he eventually made his way to the Eagles Lodge, where he's kept a near-constant residency since 2012. Of all the dance nights in town, In the Cooky Jar is likely the only one where you can dance to Rufus Thomas and Little Johnny Taylor underneath black-and-white photos of old dead white dudes. SANTI ELIJAH HOLLEY
Sept 1, 9 pm, Eagles Lodge (F.O.E.#3256), $5 with food donation, $7 without

The Day Fade
Before summer emits its last gasp, the Day Fade is holding a sweet September party so you can soak up some sunshine and sick beats before the clouds come in for good. 2017’s final Day Fade features Massacooramaan, Mijo, Dubblife, Easy Egg, and regular host Jerry Bandito all spinning great tunes, plus a live performance from Amani! Do the weekend right. NED LANNAMANN

Ural Thomas & the Pain
To live in Portland and never have seen Ural Thomas and the Pain—a resurrected local treasure of soul if there ever was one—would be a shame. MARJORIE SKINNER
Sept 4, 9 pm, Goodfoot, $5

Out of Sight
Steven Soderbergh is great at stories centered on people stealing shit. Logan Lucky is in theaters now, which references Ocean’s Eleven, both of which—great as they are—pale when compared to Out of Sight, Soderbergh’s best blend of indie adventurousness and pop sensibility (and arguably his best film, period). Based on Elmore Leonard’s novel, Out of Sight is the story of a bank robber caught up in a jailhouse scheme to rob a millionaire crook, while also managing to seduce the cop on his tail. Thanks to the unbelievable chemistry of leads George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez, and a stacked supporting cast that plays not even one false note, Out of Sight is of the smoothest, most charming film experiences of the ’90s.
