Margaret Cho is Fresh Off the Bloat for 5 Dallas shows
She has become one of the grande dames of standup comedy, she’s a pioneering (and pioqueering) actress and sitcom star, a fierce advocate for gay and women’s rights … and she’ll be in Addison this weekend for five shows. Each performance is different with Cho, so check out Fresh Off the Bloat once, twice or more. She’s the politically incorrect standup for our time.

Kitchen Dog premieres absurdist original ‘Pompeii’
It’s the end of the world as we know it, but the folks of Pompeii — the first century town devastated by a volcanic pyroclastic explosion — feel fine. They are having a bit of Vaudeville, with singing, dancing and comedy in the face of doom. That’s the premise of the world premiere play by local stagemakers Cameron Cobb, Max Hartman and Michael Federico. Pompeii is a quirky piece of absurdism, courtesy of Kitchen Dog Theater. The short run opens tonight.
DEETS: Trinity River Arts Center,
2600 N. Stemmons Freeway.
