Two longtime local favorites will perform together at George’s Friday night. Joplin-based (but frequent Fayetteville visitor) Ben Miller Band and local all-star group, Flipoff Pirates, will take the stage for a pre-holiday show beginning at around 9:30 p.m. Tickets are $8-$10.

If you haven’t seen it yet, or if you’re family in town hasn’t seen it yet, you could check out TheatreSquared’s version of A Christmas Carol. There are a handful of chances to see it this weekend.

In comedy, your best bet is checking out comedian Hunter Donaldson at Nomad’s as part of their regular Southtown Comedy Night series.
