Can't Miss It: Tuesday
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.
7:30 p.m. // Annex Theatre, 1122 East Pike Street // Tickets: $5-12
COMEDY SHOWDOWN: Tonight is the first night of the preliminary round 2 of the 30th annual Seattle International Comedy Competition. Officially ending on November 29 at The Moore Theatre, get out and see what all the fuss is about and watch some nationally (or internationally, as promised?) recognized stand-up comedians.
8-11 p.m. // Comedy Underground, 109 S. Washington St. // Tickets: $15
