1. See a show
The English singer-songwriter Gary Numan will perform his three most influential albums over three nights. As one of the founding artists of synth-pop, it’d be a shame to miss this ‘70s sensation. (Metro Chicago, 3730 N Clark St, 9pm. $31, $71 three-day pass)
All you have to do is love yourself, dance and eat free pizza at this body-positive bimonthly party. Featured bartenders Lucy Stoole and Jason Cox will be serving up drinks alongside go-go dancers and DJ Ldy Prblms. (Berlin, 954 W Belmont Ave, 9pm. Free)
3. Laugh it up
See a range of Chicago comedy at the show Sadsacks and Wisecracks. Veterans and newbies performing sketch, improv and stand-up are regularly featured. (High-Hat Club, 1920 W Irving Park Rd, 8pm. Free)
