When David Sedaris comes to town, it's a big deal, cause it only happens about once a year. Tickets for the single-evening event at Benaroya Hall, presented by NWAA and The Stranger, went on sale last month, and it would behoove you to get a move on and grab some (before everyone else does). more ›

SEXY NUTCRACKER: Wow, saying those two words together kind of makes us feel like we're playing Apples to Apples, but in this case there is such a thing as a sexy nutcracker and it's going to be gone after Wednesday, so instead of doing last minute shopping, get down with some last minute burlesque watching! Land of the Sweets: The Burlesque Nutcracker is finishing up its fourth year featuring some of Seattle's favorite burlesque dancers such as Lily Verlaine, Jasper McCann, Kitten LaRue, Miss Indigo Blue, and the much-loved Aerialistas. Tickets are no longer being sold online but can be bought at the door, so we'd recommend getting there early--this show has been previously sold out on many occasions. more ›

If you've been a longtime fan, now is the time. more ›
