Found Footage Festival @ Lakeshore Theater

3175 N. Broadway
8:00 PM
$12.00

The Found Footage Festival is a live comedy event and screening featuring odd and hilarious clips from VHS videotapes gathered from thrift stores, garage sales, warehouses, estate sales, and dumpsters throughout the country. It has its roots in the found art movement made famous by artists such as Marcel Duchamp and the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players, but maintains an irreverent sense of humor with its source material. Curators Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher host each screening in-person and provide their unique observations and commentary on these found video obscurities.

Method Man and Redman @ HOB

Arguably one of the most entertaining duos in hip-hop, Meth and Red just seem to feed off each other's energy. Rumor has it that they're working on a follow-up to their Blackout! album, which, if they don't deviate from the formula, will feature a lot of back and forth between the two. 329 N. Dearborn. Show starts whenever they get there, really. Cop here.
