Calling all never nudes! And just regular AD fans, too. Hang out with your friends (and make new ones–how can you not love a stranger in jorts?) while watching Arrested Development and playing bingo. How it works is you look for things like the stair car and the banana stand, and if that’s on your bingo card, you put down a chip. Win a game and you’ll get either a free drink or frozen banana. But come as a never nude and you’ll get both automatically.

Comedy Night at Knitting Factory

Hannibal Buress used to host this weekly showcase of up-and-coming comics, but now the duties fall on Clark Jones (who has toured with Buress), Will Miles, and Kenny DeForest. Get there early (doors open at 8pm): the event is free and has seen big-name drop-ins like Louis CK and Chris Rock, so the Knit’s front bar tends to get packed.

Trans Pecos Experimental Music Series

Diamond Terrifier‘s experimental and outsider music series is one of those rare things: a free music event at a venue space (there is a one drink minimum but, whatever, you were totally gonna buy that beer anyway). This isn’t quite an open-mic night, but the kind of attentiveness and risk-taking and newness it inspires makes it similar. Swap out amateurs for seasoned musicians who are trying out their less seasoned material and you’ve got Practice.

These guys might just know the solos to some GNR songs better than Slash.
