STAND-UP FOR CHIMPS: Pioneer Square's Comedy Underground will be hosting a charity event for our rescued furry friends over at Cle Elum's Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest. Put on by Yoram Bauman a.k.a. "the stand-up economist" and founder of Non-Profit Comedy, the stand-up comedy also includes raffle tickets, a slide show, and merchandise for sale. All proceeds of Stand-up for Chimps! will go toward spring planting for the chimps' vegetable garden, and besides money, they will also be taking donations of seeds and seedlings.

8-9:30 p.m. // Comedy Underground, 109 South Washington Street // Tickets: $10 online, $12 at the door

FREE IRON & WINE : If you were hoping to catch Iron & Wine at the Triple Door--and found out like us that it is completely sold out--Capitol Hill's Sonic Boom will be hosting a live, acoustic, all-ages show for free to help celebrate the new release of the band's latest album Around the Well. On sale to the public May 19, this is a 2-CD/3-LP collection of out-of-print and never-before-released rare tracks.This is the first we've heard from Mr. Beam in a couple years, and it should be a great show. Keep in mind though--there will be a line, and most likely that line will be very, very long. It is highly recommended to get there early.

6 p.m. // Sonic Boom Records, 514 15th Ave East // FREE

WRITERS ON ART: Local writers Ryan Boudinot and Lesley Hazelton will be reading from Looking Together: Writers on Art, an anthology that as well includes Seattle favorites such as Rebecca Brown, Peter Pereira, Richard Hugo, Frances McCue, and many more. Boudinot and Hazelton are two of our personal favorites, so we're pretty excited about getting them together in the same place, especially for a free event. The anthology pairs the writers with works of art from the Seattle Frye Art Museum's permanent collection and exhibits, allowing them to contribute responses within their own ranges of style and form to give the art new perspective.

7:30 p.m. //Ravenna Third Place Books, 6504 20th Avenue NE // FREE
