VARIETY SHOW—Tonight’s guest on Live Wire!, Jen Kirkman, is the grown-ass anti-heroine we’ve been waiting for. Her dry, feminism-inflected stand-up is the antidote to the cutesy jokes about Tinder currently oversaturating the comedy landscape. She makes me look forward to being a hardened 40-year-old divorcée. MEGAN BURBANK
w/Hey Marseilles; Mississippi Studios, 3939 N Mississippi, 7 pm, $20-40, all ages
COMEDY—The folks at Siren Nation put on a great women-focused music and arts festival every fall, and they keep the fun going with their semiannual comedy show Hell Hath No Funny. This time the funny ladies onstage include Bay Area stand-up Natasha Muse and Seattle’s über-charming Elicia Sanchez. It’s gonna be good! COURTNEY FERGUSON
w/Joanie Quinn, Emma Arnold; The Secret Society, 116 NE Russell, 8 pm, $10-12
