Even though 2024 is a leap year, February is keeping its status as the shortest month. February isn’t short on superb things to do, however. There’s plenty going on in every category of events, plus big dates like Black History Month, Lunar New Year, Valentine’s Day, and Mardi Gras. Find all of February’s highlights below, with events from Ilana Glazer to Oregon Distilled and from Jon Batiste to The Temptations & The Four Tops.

COMEDY

Ilana Glazer
“Never has she ever read a newspaper,” but batshit Broad City angel Ilana Glazer will still head to Portland to spread the good news. (What’s the good news? That she still exists and she’s still hilarious. Try to keep up.) Ilana has been voicing the plucky deuteragonist on Netflix’s Green Eggs and Ham for the last few years, a role that feels somehow perfect for her. I’m hoping she shares the details on her toy collection and love of sandwiches. LINDSAY COSTELLO
Newmark Theatre, South Park Blocks (Fri Feb 9)
