A Jew and a Black Guy Comedy Show

HTRosen and Jordan Stylez bring back the old-school Catskill antics of yesterday in a comedic duo fashion reminiscent of older times. A Jew and a Black Guy are hip, modern comics that attempt to break down racial biases and stereotypes through laughter and fun.

Aquarium Rescue Unit
Saturday, 9 p.m.

With the daring, iconoclastic Hampton at the helm, the Aquarium Rescue Unit played a seminal role in fostering today's vital, thriving improvisational music community. And their presence is still felt: Since Hampton and the band parted ways in 1993, the band's members have gone on to both inspire and enliven the music of the genre's most revered practitioners: Herring (guitar), Burbridge (bass) and Sipe (aka Apt. Q-258, drums).
