COMEDY—Comedian Iliza Shlesinger is from Texas, which might explain a prominent girly-girl joke of hers. But you’d be one reductive comedy fan to think she’s only all about white wine and Pinterest. Her rapid-fire delivery and demon-voiced digressions are equal parts hysterical, boisterous, and delightful. And she can do a mean goat call! COURTNEY FERGUSON

MUSIC—The fourth annual heavy music festival Stumpfest throws up its horns yet again, kicking off three days of head-splitting performances from the likes of Yob and Big Business with two of the best local outfits for whom to risk tinnitus, Danava and Lord Dying. Good luck to you, friends. MARJORIE SKINNER
