ONE-MAN PUPPET SHOW: Capitol Hill's Annex Theatre will be hosting my dear Lewis tonight. Written and performed by Kyle Loven, recipient of the Jim Henson Foundation 2009 grant and recent Seattle transplant, this "one-man show explores the ordinary and the extraordinary events that make up a person's life, and what remains when it's no longer in our hands." Though this description is slightly confusing to us (whose hands are our lives in then?), we're hoping it refers to the muppets puppets that will be featured as a part of this "dreamlike reality" that includes image-driven work such as music, objects, and projections. And hey, it's got be spectacular if the Henson folks love it! Too bad they probably won't be including the Riverbottom Nightmare Band as an opening act.

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.

MY GOD CAN BEAT UP YOUR GOD: The Coexist Comedy Tour hits Comedy Underground today, seeking to unite us all through the power of laughing at our religious prejudices. According to a description of the show, "Can an atheist, a Hindu, a Christian, a Muslim and a Buddhist go on the road together, share a stage and be an example of how to get along? Probably not, but our failures should be good for some laughs."
