See full event listings at The Blocks Arts District
Sammy Obeid double-majored in business and math at UC Berkeley, turned down a job at Google to do stand-up, and has never looked back. The man made a choice, it was the right one. He is hilarious. Wiseguys, The Gateway.
ALSO WEDNESDAY:
Liza Treyger has the kind of comedy that feels like catching up with your funniest friend — warm, sharp, a little unhinged. She's a regular at The Comedy Cellar and The Comedy Store, has Netflix and Comedy Central specials, and showed up in Jordan Peele's Nope. She also co-hosts a true crime podcast about Law & Order: SVU, which tells you everything you need to know about her. Wiseguys Showroom, The Gateway.
Guitar sensation Gretchen Mann joins Utah Symphony to celebrate America at 250. Together, they’ll play Copland, Ives, and Steven Mackey’s Aluminum Flowers. Abravanel Hall, Fri + Sat.
We know parents, parents know Blippi. If you are a parent you've watched enough Blippi on YouTube that you deserve to see him live too. Blippi: Be Like Blippi at Eccles Theater, May 1.
ALSO FRIDAY:
It is the final concert at the Delta Center before it goes under construction for a second summer. Carin Leon brings his Sonoran roots and his big tenor voice at 8pm.
The Kentucky Derby is a sport, a fashion show, a drinking occasion, and a reason to watch the Run for the Roses on 50+ TVs at Flanker at The Gateway,
Dancing With The Stars brings its live tour to Eccles — sequins, lifts, ballroom drama, the whole spectacle. Plus they’re bringing the best part of DWTS season 34: Andy Richter!! Eccles Theater, 8pm, also Sunday.
Turn up the amp, push up the tempo, and howl in harmony. That’s how Nashville’s Brooks & The Bluff will perform their new album, Werewolf tonight at Soundwell, 5:30.
Tech N9ne has been making his own rules in hip-hop for 25 years — independently, his own label, his own way. He tours relentlessly and his fans are among the most devoted in music. Plus, E-40! The Complex, 7pm.
We want to feature your fun!
