Mother’s Day will cap off this eventful first week of May, but before we reach Sunday, there’s Cinco de Mayo, music from Belltown Bloom to Big Thief, and happenings from Crosscut Festival to Red May Seattle to keep you busy. For more ideas for the month ahead, check out our guide to May events.

MONDAY

COMEDY

Cheap Therapy
Here’s a comedy show you can chat about with your therapist. With a side-splitting cast of local jokesters (including Stephanie Nam of Men Aren’t Funny), fun & flirty’s Cheap Therapy will chase the blues away for a good cause. A portion of event proceeds will be donated to NAMI Seattle, which creates opportunities for education, referrals, and support in the local mental health system.
