COMEDY—John Hodgman, of The Daily Show and The Areas of My Expertise, is bringing his new one-man comedy show, Vacationland, to town. He will discuss such topics as dad mustaches, the poisoning of small animals, and “how the people of various rural towns are probably planning to sacrifice you to their god.” ERIK HENRIKSEN
Hollywood Theatre, 4122 NE Sandy, 8 pm, $25
MUSIC—Minnesota is really cold. How that has translated, again and again, into some of the most thoughtful hip-hop is still a mystery. Whatever the case, Minneapolis’ seven-piece Doomtree collective blows into town like a frigid nor’easter tonight. By all means, attend. POS, Cecil Otter & Co. are the expert practitioners of rhymes forged by ice and pain. DIRK VANDERHART
