It’s been an insane week, y’all. If you’re looking for some escapism this weekend, find community at events from the Growler Guys’ inaugural No Buzz Bash to Jane Don’t with Irene the Alien & Darlene Mitchell and from Putsata Reang: Resisting Erasure Through Storytelling to a Flood Relief Fundraiser at Remlinger Farms. Check out our weekly top picks guide for more things to do.
FRIDAY
COMEDY
Crowd’s Quest
My ideal fantasy experience (be it CRPG or tabletop) involves zero homework and maximum chaos. Which is why you’ll absolutely catch me at Crowd’s Quest, a fast-paced, audience-driven comedy show that seeks to turn the whole room into a living, breathing fantasy world; no D&D experience required. During the quest, a few brave souls get pulled onstage to play rotating heroes while everyone else steers the fate of the realm from their seats via live voting. It’s a mix of improv and nerdy theatrics that’s structured just enough to keep things the right amount of unhinged. LANGSTON THOMAS
