You can browse our full NYC show calendar for all of tonight’s shows, but here are some highlights…

Dave East, Cruch Calhoun, Millyz @ PlayStation Theater
After a run of buzz-worthy mixtapes, Harlem rapper Dave East finally dropped his debut album Survival last month, and tonight he plays one of the last-ever Playstation Theater shows.

Yo La Tengo @ Bowery Ballroom
It’s one of the great NYC holiday traditions: Yo La Tengo continue their 2019 Hanukkah run which will include surprise comedian and musical act openers, as well as special guests during the encore. Proceeds go to charity.

David Byrne’s American Utopia @ Hudson Theatre
David Byrne has retooled his acclaimed “untethered” 2018 for the Broadway stage and while the setlist and arrangements are much like what they were on his tour, songs are now threaded together with new monologues from Byrne, making for a much more theatrical experience.

Sandra Bernhard @ Joe’s Pub
Sandra Bernhard plays her 10th-annual New Year’s run at Joe’s Pub, titled “Sandy’s Holiday Extravaganza – A Decade of Madness and Mayhem.” There’s both an early and late show tonight, where she plans to “lift you up and soothe your frazzled holiday nerves.”

You can also find quality entertainment on almost any night of the week at: Barbès bar and performance space in Park Slope, LunÀtico in Bed Stuy, Nublu in the East Village, Blue Note jazz club in the West Village, The Stone in multiple locations, Comedy Cellar in the West Village, and Q.E.D. comedy club in Astoria.
