COMEDY—The funniest person in all the world is coming to town to regale us with off-kilter jokes about pugs, mental illness, WASPy sisters, and unimpressed parents. It’s rubber-faced stand-up Maria Bamford and her delightful array of weird voices and hysterical stories. She’s the very embodiment of Portland—so let’s find a monacled puppy to present her with a key to the city! COURTNEY FERGUSON
Helium Comedy Club, 1510 SE 9th, Thurs 7:15 & 9:45 pm, Fri 7:30 pm, $27-34
MUSIC—National acts are fine. But tonight you’re a locavore, taking a couple of hours to appreciate a troika of talent flourishing in your backyard. Both DoublePlusGood and Fringe Class slather on the reverb with snappy synth-pop sets. Then somewhere along the way it gets weirder, with the percussionists in Secret Drum Band bang, bang, banging away with minimal accompaniment. DIRK VANDERHART
Mississippi Studios, 3939 N Mississippi, 9 pm, $5
FEAST—Everyone’s favorite bacchanalia of food is back! Tickets to many events at Feast are sold out, but there’s still some left for big events like the Sandwich Invitational tonight, where you can pay $95 to eat delicious sandwiches and hobnob with well-heeled epicureans. Just make sure you crash the afterparties. ANDREA DAMEWOOD
