Bat City Bingo
Mamma mia: Did you know the game we call bingo originated in Italy? Descended from the Italian lotto game, bingo has been delighting young and old – okay, mostly old – since the 1500s. Enjoy boffo bingo from your friends at Bat City Bingo, who bring free “beano” to patios all over town, every Tuesday at North Loop bar & kitchen Double Trouble. Advisable drink pairings with your bingo card: for the sober, a hot choc, and for the spirited, an Aperol Spritz. Foodwise, I mean, a taco goes with everything – this writer suggests the vegan picadillo. – James ScottTuesdays -

Cabarex 3: Futurx
Past, present, and … Futurx, the latest and final installment of ProyectoTEATRO’s cabaret trilogy covering 500 years of Latin American history. In this part, the multi-talented cast brings to life “the political-toxic relationship between the United States and Mexico, the American Dream, the druglord underworld of Latin America, and the mysterious mermaids of the gulf of Mexico,” as the event copy states. How do they do it? Why, through theatre, music, sketch & improv comedy, and dance: elements which blend together and create an out-of-this-world spectacle inspired by very of-this-world history. – James ScottThrough June 8 -

Esther's Follies
Esther's Follies – Austin's not-so-secret weapon in the fight against ennui – the comedy gem that still dazzles this growing urban hub – returns to the weekly live and in-person stage of their club on Dirty Sixth, the whole troupe bringing back old favorites and debuting a new program of hilarity with topical, ripped-from-the-headlines sketches and musical numbers. And you do need a laugh or two, right about this time, don't you, citizen? (And how about a margarita to go with that?) We'd add that the mind-boggling illusions of magician Ray Anderson are a bonus in the night's clever spectacle … but, the way that arch maestro conjures mystery and delight, "bonus" would be an insult.Thu., 7pm; Fri.-Sat., 7 & 9pm. $30-40. -
Music
Jordan Nix, Jason Eady & Tim Easton, the Drakes (6:00)
“Nobody ever wants to admit that what they really wanted nearly killed them,” ponders Tim Easton on the opening title track to his just-released LP, Find Your Way, the veteran troubadour’s gentle vocals folding across the poetic confessional of a life given to running on dreams. Easton’s songs strike with a deep compassion while never shying away from hard realities and truths. Jason Eady brings an equally exceptional songwriting ground in road-worn experience to match, with the Texan recently releasing his Old Wanderer trilogy, which wrangles a weary-voiced longing and redemption across tight, steel-swaddled melodies. – Doug FreemanWed., June 5 -
