COMEDY—There’s on a roll, and then there’s on a roll. John Oliver falls into the italicized camp. He’s snatched the current events comedy crown with his amazing HBO series Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, in which he and his staff report the shit out of the world’s problems before skewering them, roasting them, and serving them up hot. Catch Oliver’s winsome Britishness in person tonight. DIRK VANDERHART

MUSIC—Our favorite musicians just so happen to be of the lady persuasion, so it’s about time we honor them at the Leading Ladies in Music Awards, where the honorees include Kathy Foster of the Thermals, Rebecca Gates of the Spinanes, Mirah, and more. This celebration promises comedy, music, and an auction—all to benefit the young rockers of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Camp for Girls. COURTNEY FERGUSON
