Just when it seemed like winter would never end, March is swooping in with cherry blossoms and Daylight Saving Time. Whether you want to make up for all the time you’ve spent huddled under a blanket by spending time outdoors or you want to celebrate all the holidays this month brings (including Women’s History Month, St. Patrick’s Day, and Holi), your options are plentiful. Below, we’ve compiled the biggest comedy shows, concerts, food events, and other great things to do, from Bad Bunny to Ian Karmel and from the Irish Festival to the NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship.
COMEDY
Tim Fest ’24 – Tim Heidecker and the Very Good Band / Office Hours & On Cinema Live!
Tim Heidecker, the legendary weirdo behind Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! and On Cinema at the Cinema, is nothing if not polarizing—Vice describes his work as “failure-centric”—but if you “get” him, you’re probably a huge fan. Heidecker will blend his distinctive brand of absurdist meta-humor with original music (yes, he makes music) for this extra-special, two-day “Tim Fest,” where he’ll be joined by fellow freak Neil Hamburger. Segments include Office Hours, in which Tim will take calls from around the world, and On Cinema Live, in which Tim and film expert Gregg Turkington will discuss the greatest movies of all time. LINDSAY COSTELLO
Aladdin Theater, Brooklyn (Mar 16–17)
Ian Karmel
To know Ian Karmel is to love him: The former Mercury columnist, beloved Beavertonian, Emmy Award-winning comic, and onetime co-head writer for The Late Late Show with James Corden writer (he’s fancy these days) played a key role in our humble city’s comedy renaissance. He’ll drop by his old stomping grounds with more of the lighthearted comedy that’s earned him a loyal fanbase ’round these parts. LINDSAY COSTELLO
