Time Out says

Art Deco-era starchitect Timothy L. Pflueger designed Oakland’s grand Paramount Theatre in 1931, assembling the talents of artists from many backgrounds to capture the splendor of the age. After its life as a movie palace fizzled out in the 1970s, the long-neglected building was embraced by the Oakland Symphony, the City of Oakland and numerous private donors who ensured its restoration and preservation. Today, this National Historic Landmark is open for tours, and a full schedule of live concerts, theater and—yes—movies.

What’s on

The Bald and the Beautiful

Trixie and Katya’s live podcast tapings are the kind of event that makes you grateful to live in a city where drag icons can riff about everything from pop culture to personal disasters in front of a room full of diehard fans. The Bald and the Beautiful isn’t just a podcast recording—it’s a full-on spectacle of unscripted chaos, inside jokes, and the kind of off-the-cuff comedy that never quite makes it to the edited version. If you’ve ever watched their YouTube antics and wondered what happens when there’s no one to cut for time, this is your chance to find out. The crowd is always in on the joke, and the duo’s chemistry is even sharper in person. Don’t expect a polished show—expect to laugh until you cry at whatever wild tangent they decide to chase next.

Mojo Brookzz

Mojo Brookzz has a knack for turning the most ordinary moments into laugh-out-loud confessions, and his Outta Pocket Tour is the rare chance to catch that magic live. If you’ve scrolled past his viral clips, you already know his style: sharp, quick, and just a little bit reckless in the best way. On stage, he’s even more unfiltered, riffing on the kind of everyday chaos that’s instantly recognizable but somehow funnier when he says it out loud. The crowd isn’t just there to watch—they’re part of the punchline, and Mojo knows exactly how to work a room without ever feeling rehearsed. If you’re overdue for a night that feels like a group chat come to life, this is the show to see. Just don’t expect to keep a straight face for long.
