Tonight’s edition of Sweet at Ella looks particularly, uh, sweet with Wyatt Cenac, Rudi Macaggi and more. It’s also the biennial “Sweet Games” where, according to host Seth Herzog, “nonpros compete in comedic events & judged by a panel of celebrities. Always fun!”

Unless you’re looking at this post from your phone, chances are you’re not getting into tonight’s Nicki Minaj make-up show at Roseland.

Charming New Zealander Lawrence Arabia is playing Mercury Lounge tonight and tickets are still available. You can stream his new album, The Sparrow, via a Spotify widget below.

“Once In a Lullaby” screens for free in a Staten Island ballpark tonight.
