Amy Gentry: Last Woman Standing
Gentry is one of this city's favorite writers, of course, and this new thriller features an aspiring stand-up comedian who, bonding over the struggle in boys' club professions, teams up with a computer programmer for some righteous revenge against the assholes who've assaulted them. But things start to go south and twisty in a big way, and – let the author tell you more about it tonight! (Although, psssst, here's a fine preview from the Chronicle's Rosalind Faires.)Tue., Jan. 22, 7pm -

Toni Price
More synonymous with “Tuesday” than any performer in Austin history, Toni Price has packed houses with her Hippie Hour residencies since George Bush Sr. ruled the White House. The sultry R&B/Americana vocalist reigned 22 years at Continental Club before shifting to the Little Darlin’ last year. Now Austin’s premier diva, usually backed by Marshall and Warren Hood, holds court at another more-Austin-than-Austin locale: Threadgill’s.Tuesdays, 8pm -

Easy Tiger + Real Ale = Shere Khan
And now, best beloved, that fiercely baking Tiger has joined forces with the brewmasters of Real Ale to come up with a collaborative craft beer – a salted pecan imperial stout – called Shere Khan. We imagine it'll go great with those famous pretzels, for one thing, but we're also jonesing to check out the evening's offering from two rare Real Ale Mysterium Verum kegs: The Imperium (an American wild ale from 2014) and Codex Triplex (a barrel-aged wild ale from 2017). This collab-brew will be launched at all three Easy Tiger locations tonight, but you know we'll be at that newest in the Linc, getting our happy slurping on.Tue., Jan. 22, from 4pm until supplies run out -

Theatre
FronteraFest: Short Fringe
One of Austin’s longest-running festivals, a legendary vehicle for theatre artists, actors, musicians, poets, and performers of all types, FronteraFest returns for its 26th year of showcasing some of the wildest – occasionally brilliant, frequently delightful, and almost always original – entertainment you're likely to see. It's a collaboration between that professional thespian powerhouse called Hyde Park Theatre and ScriptWorks and anyone who's got what it takes to put their act on a stage. The Short Fringe showcases performances of 25 minutes or less, and runs the entirety of the festival. Here's the main thing to know about the Short Fringe, in case you're not familiar with the whole FronteraFest deal, yo: The weeknight shows are a mixed bag but usually crowded with folks there to see friends do their stuff onstage; each Saturday "Best-of-the-Week" show is sure to be worth your time, but it sells out fast, so plan accordingly; the final week, the "Best-of-the-Fest" week, which is always the primo live-performance shit in town and is already completely sold out – we warned you about this, like, weeks ago, right? – except for the wild-card Staff Picks night on Thu., Feb. 14, 8pm, which has a few tickets still available.Through Feb 16. Tue.-Sat., 8pm. -

PrintAustin
There’s one sure way for art to make a lasting impression: When the marks comprising a work are made transferable and forced into contact with another surface. Then, suddenly, look – born from an industrial matrix still wet with ink, it’s a print! It’s the product of a woodcut, an engraving, an etching. It manifests as a mezzotint, an aquatint, an image of drypoint. Hell, maybe it’s one of those screenprints that concert promoters use for pimping their bands, a bold AF poster created with the same sort of process that, when displayed in a Very Serious Museum, is called serigraphy.: There are so many different kinds of prints, we confess, that it’s better to direct you to Wikipedia for detailed background. But we wouldn’t be surprised if an eye-popping majority of those kinds – to say nothing of the abundance of subjects depicted, the profusion of styles engaged – were available for viewing during the sixth annual PrintAustin celebration.: This year’s iteration of PrintAustin runs from January 15 to February 15 and features a wide diversity of events throughout the city – including exhibitions, artist talks, demos, workshops, and more. We’ll be highlighting several of those in your Chronicle's visual arts listings as the fest continues, of course, so keep your eyes peeled this-a-way.Through Feb. 15 -

Davis Gallery: Past and Present
It's no secret that Randall Reid's meticulous works – painstakingly constructed from shards of our commercial and natural past, perfectly displayed among the ruins of our present – are some of the rare objects on this planet that bring a deep joy to our eyes' sense of beauty and amplify any yearnings in the forlorn wasteland of our heart. So what can we tell you about the man's career retrospective at Davis Gallery right now? What can we tell you about four decades' worth of Reidian excellence on display, except that we recommend it highly? Let's hope that'll do – because you shouldn't miss this show.Through Feb. 23
