Bobcat Goldthwait

Friday is opening night for TheatreSquared’s seventh season, and they’re kicking it off with Michael Fayn’s comedy, Noises Off at Nadine Baum Studios. We’ve heard it’s hilarious.

Speaking of hilarious, comic Bobcat Goldthwait is performing two sets at UARK Bowl Friday night, one at 8 p.m. and one at 10:30 p.m.

Happy-hour wise, Big Uns and Joe Giles are at George’s Majestic Lounge. Later on, George’s regulars Ben Miller Band and Speakeasy play the late night show.

Daddy Mack Blues Band has been the house band at the Center For Southern Folklore on Beale Street in Memphis for years, but the folks at Legacy Blues have booked them in town Friday night. They sound pretty legit.

If you like bass, you might like the show at Highway 62 Event Center with Austin, Tex. dubsteppers Run DMT and bay-area band, Helicopter Showdown.

It might be a rainy morning for the Farmers’ Market at the Fayetteville Square Saturday, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go down there. It just means you should bring an umbrella.

The Razorback football team begins the 2012 season against the Jacksonville State Gamecocks at Reynolds Razorback Stadium on Saturday. The game starts at 6 p.m., and will be televised on Pay Per View. Here’s more info on the PPV situation.

Local guitar genius Matt Smith has a new project, and the group will make its debut at Smoke & Barrel Tavern Friday night. We don’t know anything about it, except for the fact that Matt is a bad mammer jammer.
