WHAT'S ON PITTSBURGH · MIDWEEK
|
|
Happy Monday. Short week, broad slate, and the thing I keep thinking about is a free seminar on what migrating birds are up against. Tuesday is a pay what you want meditation hour in Friendship and Berkeley emo in Allentown. Wednesday is the busy one: Pitt hosts a playoff match in Oakland, Cleveland comics raid the North Side, the county rangers bring out the skulls in Ross, and the Three Rivers Film Festival opens downtown. Thursday brings the bird talk, Appalachian songs on the South Side, and Matilda at the Byham. Let's get to it! - Madison

★ MIDWEEK PICK
🎤 CLE vs PGH: Comedian Brawl
Steel City Cellar · North Side · 7:00 PM · $15
The billing says Cleveland comics came to Pittsburgh for gameday, and calls it a big mistake. Steel City Cellar has put the two cities' best stand-ups head to head to settle it, in the basement of Max's Allegheny Tavern on Suismon Street, a German restaurant in Deutschtown. Fifteen dollars, doors at 6:30 for a 7 o'clock start. No age minimum and no drink minimum, which is rarer than it sounds. Why go: Cross state trash talk is a Pittsburgh art form, and this is it with a microphone.
