\nPuppet cavemen are happier than you
\n<\/i>Puppet shows aren\u2019t just for kids. Calgary\u2019s Old Trout Puppet Workshop has created Ignorance<\/i>, a \u201cpuppet documentary\u201d that goes from cavemen to modern humans, and considers what makes us happy (hint: it\u2019s not iPhones). The show is playing at Blue Bridge at the Roxy. Details at bluebridgetheatre.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thursday, January 9
\nRockers surf through town
\n<\/i>Supporting their latest recording, Pythons<\/i>, Surfer Blood will be bringing their catchy guitar pop (think surf punk meets Pixies comin\u2019 at ya from Florida) to Lucky Bar.<\/p>\n

Saturday, January 11
\nEven without snow, it\u2019s still funny
\n<\/i>The Snowed In Comedy<\/i> tour is clearly named for the rest of Canada, but just because our weather\u2019s nice doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t laugh about it. This show features Arj Barker, Dan Quinn, Craig Campbell, and Pete Johansson, all stand-up veterans who have earned their popularity. They\u2019ll be at the McPherson Playhouse, more info at rmts.bc.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Saturday, January 11
\nMusic for the earth
\n<\/i>Local musicians Danton Jay, Kristia Di Gregorio, and West My Friend will be playing to support the environmentally focused non-profit group Creatively United for the Planet. The relaxed singer-songwriter and folk-roots vibe will accompany a silent auction including artwork and music. Head to St. Ann\u2019s Academy Auditorium at 7pm; more info at creativelyunitedfortheplanet.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wednesday, January 15 to Friday, February 21
\nThey say it\u2019s like life…
\n<\/i>Though the first image that comes to mind is probably Liza Minnelli in the film, Cabaret<\/i> has been doing well for itself since the \u201990s as a Broadway revival. The award-winning musical is set in Berlin, as Hitler and the Nazis are on the rise. The drama of the time is played out on the stage of the Kit Kat Club and in the lives of its patrons. Cabaret<\/i> runs at the Langham Court Theatre, info at langhamtheatre.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Friday, January 17
\nInsane funk posse
\n<\/i>Vancouver\u2019s Five Alarm Funk bring all kinds of energy to their live shows. You will be compelled to dance. You will sweat and shake. All from the supreme power of irresistibly funky music. The fun goes down at Sugar Nightclub.<\/p>\n

Saturday, January 18
\nTheatre SKAM is ready\u00a0<\/i>to party
\n<\/i>For nearly two decades, Theatre SKAM has promoted independent theatre in Victoria, and this year the company can finally get into bars and have a drink. Their birthday party fundraiser will be good times: live music, party games, and pool tables will keep you entertained, and a raffle will reward generosity! Party at 8pm at the Odd Fellows Hall, 1315 Douglas Street.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
