Encourage the Voice Open Mic Nights

We all need a little encouragement from time to time, and tonight Medicine Wheel is offering free encouragement to any and all patrons. Whether it be a song, a poem, or a performance, now’s the time to let it out. Maybe that’s not your thing, but if your thing is instead listening to those songs, poems, and performances, now’s the time to hear it out. Plus, with free food and drinks, what’s not to like?

Medicine Wheel. 110 K St., South Boston. 6-8pm/all ages/$5 donation. allevents.in/events/encourage-the-voice-open-mic-nights/410830709106718

ImprovBoston Presents: DoubledOver

Do you like comedy? Of course you do, who actively dislikes the pleasures of laughter and joy? ImprovBoston is presenting DoubledOver for one last night, so I’d seriously consider going if I were you. It’s not often that life throws us improv comedy from Boston’s very own comedians, and it’s far less often that two of them get together for a hilarity-filled night. Power, punch, pizzazz, and maybe some pizza afterwards are presenting themselves for an evening that promises laughs and genuine comedic talent.

Improv Boston. 40 Prospect St., Cambridge. 10-11:30pm/18+/$18, $14 with student ID. improvboston.com

Novelist and comic book writer Marjorie Liu will be headed to Comicopia in Kenmore Square to do a book signing for her latest release Monstress (Image Comics).
