is one of the hottest places to catch up-and-coming comedy and sketch theater in the city. While they’re closing out the month with plenty of great shows, some standouts include a May 26 installment of Maggie Winters’s autobiographical play
, which sold out its initial two-performance debut at Sleeping Village in March. Directed by her brothers, Melkbelly’s Bart and Liam Winters,details the wry, true story of how Maggie learned to be funny growing up in Beverly. There’s alsoon May 27, which has comedy writers Anthony Oberbeck and Matt Barats arriving from New York to spin surrealist yarns against ambient music and abstract video montages.
May 31 is going to be a great night of loud weirdo music at Café Mustache –at least, for those 21 and up. Dog from New York joins locals Blood Nymph, Pillbug Junction, and Unmanned Ship. Blood Nymph is a pleading, vengeful queer doom metal outfit while Pillbug Junction is the playful, spasming electronic project of Jill Lloyd Flanagan of Forced Into Femininity fame.
