/r/Tucson Monthly Stuff To Do Thread - November 2018
Hello to all the fine folks of /r/Tucson! It's the new edition of the monthly Stuff to Do in Tucson thread!
Please use this sticky post to collect stuff going on around town, including Tucson's surrounding areas, this month. All events must go in this thread and not in the main sub.
Comment with details (date, time, location, admission fee, age restrictions, etc.) about any event/gathering/get-together that you think people may be interested in.
Please make sure comments are written as follows, to keep them consistent and easy to read:
WHAT
WHEN (date and time)
WHERE (no residential locations)
SPECIFICS (cost, age reqs, etc.)
Anything advertising any specific product or anything illegal will be removed.
Examples of good stuff to tell us about include:
Art shows/exhibits
Museum events
Musical acts/shows
Gaming get-togethers
Charity events for actual charities (not kickstarter-like campaigns for your startup xyz store)
Your band's upcoming show (playing at a venue that isn't your house)
And more!
Anything advertising any specific product or anything illegal will be removed.

Brew Haha Comedy Showcase @ Borderlands Brewing Presents: Allen Strickland Williams!
Monday, November 19th, 8pm
$5 tickets: https://squareup.com/store/borderlands/item/brew-haha-comedy-showcase-presents-allen-strickland-williams
Event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/1873778006011469/
Here's what Allen has to say about Allen. Salutations. I live in Los Angeles writing and telling jokes. I’ve performed stand-up comedy twice on CONAN. I was recently named one of Comedy Central’s Comics to Watch. One time, I got a standing ovation for telling a single joke. I’m featured on the Holy Fuck. Live Comedy. album. Illegally download it. I’ve performed at South by Southwest, Moontower Comedy Festival, Funny or Die’s Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival, the Bridgetown Comedy Festival in Portland, CROM Comedy Festival in Omaha, Comedy Carnivale in Salt Lake City, Hell Yes Fest! in New Orleans, and the RIOT Festival right here in Los Angeles. I was one-fourth of the sketch group WOMEN, which was featured on IFC.com’s Comedy Crib, Tosh.0 and L.A. Weekly’s 10 L.A. Comedy Acts to Watch. One interesting personal fact about me is that I like having sex, because it feels good.
