Leslie and the Ly's: Ames, Iowa's Leslie and the Ly's satirical kitsch-rap is, to put it lightly, not for everyone. But if you're game for a wild night out with this category-smashing former prom queen, well, you could do worse than to head down to Subterranean tonight. $12 tickets available here. 9:00 p.m.
Walt Willey: "All My Children" fans will recognize comedian Walt Willey as slightly diabolical bed-hopper Jackson Montogomery. Comedy fans, meanwhile, will recognize his talents, which go far beyond the wild world of Pine Valley. Willey hits Zanies tonight for a standup set. $25 tickets available here. 7:30 p.m.
The Sandlot: How long's it been since you caught a movie in the out-of-doors? A little while, or for-ev-er? Coming-of-age classic The Sandlot—about a baseball team who runs afoul of a giant canine and, if we remember correctly, Darth Vader—screens tonight in Humboldt Park. Expect to hear "you're killin' me, Smalls" roughly ten billion times. Free. Dusk.
Going out can be a gamble, so why leave it up to chance? Stack the deck every day by peeping Play's Dance Card.
