MUSIC—Belle and Sebastian time! The wistful Scots bring their sensitive souls to our rainy city tonight. Wear a pastel jumper, open your heart, and prepare to have it cracked into slivers by lovely tunes filled with pain, humor, and upended storytelling. Touring on latest album Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance, they’ll be playing new tunes alongside the sugar-sweet sadness of their classics. COURTNEY FERGUSON

COMEDY—Hari Kondabolu’s sociopolitical stand-up will make you smarter, THROUGH LAUGHTER. The former immigrant-rights activist delivers whip-smart jokes with a light touch. From his Kill Rock Stars release, Waiting for 2042, to his feminist dick jokes, he’s not afraid to call people on their shit. Comedy could use like 4,000 more Hari Kondabolus—let’s
encourage this! MEGAN BURBANK

I used to absolutely adore Belle and Sebastian back when. Kinda was obsessed with them.
It was great to see them on 9/11 too, and such a relief after the horrors of the day when it seemed like everything else in town closed down that night.
Sorry to miss them tonight.
I don’t know that I like that song though.
