MSUM, Gaede Stage, Roland Dille Center for the Arts
Opening night of MSUM’s theatre season, a farce set in Paris in 1708. Full of wit, bawdy humor, and contemporary references. Moves quickly, too complicated to explain -- if you miss anything, you’re lost, and that’s French farce for you.

Radisson Hotel, 201 5th St N, Fargo
Level 2 Comedy Club presents Mike and Sam doing two shows per Saturday night. Is that the Colorado State Senator moonlighting? We’ll have to ask him. Has performed in hotel rooms, in cars, and on rooftops. Sam is prouder of himself than a crossfit mirror selfie. Justified? You decide.
