COMEDY—Did you know that April 30 is officially Margaret Cho Day in San Francisco? Well, for Portland, it’s today, when the winsome Kim Jong-il impressionist and queen of mouthy broads arrives at Helium to tell some jokes, probably about her mom. Earlier shows on this tour drew angry responses from the Westboro Baptist Church, so you know it’s going to be good! MEGAN BURBANK

MUSIC—Need a soundtrack for rainy-day baking? Something for dancing around the kitchen licking cookie dough from spoons with your beloved, the precursor to a hot ‘n’ heavy makeout sesh followed by a melancholy afterglow about this moment slipping into the past? Sure, you could put on the Cure, but Frankie Rose’s lovely echoing, gossamer dream-pop is the exact-perfect soundtrack. COURTNEY FERGUSON
