Your Wednesday To Do List
Gerald Norman Springer is a man of many titles. He is the former mayor of Cincinnati, that dummy who bounced a personal check at a "massage parlor" and a pioneer of trashy television gold. Tonight, Jerry Springer is the special guest at the Ohio Democratic Party's LGBT/Young Professionals reception, hosted by City Council's Chris Seelbach. Admission is $35 and includes one drink. The event runs 6:30-8 p.m. at Know Theater. See if you can strike a pose with the "Ringmaster" in Flashbox's photo booth. Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!
Alanta's Joe Pettis is a self-proclaimed "level 14 comedian wizard," so it's kind of a big deal that he's performing a free show at Mayday tonight.
Pettis has been featured on comedian Doug Benson's podcast, Doug Loves Movies and "Today's Riff" on TBS.com. Swing by the Northside bar around 9 p.m. to check him out alongside local comics Justin Schafer, George Allen and Tom
Schmidlin. Be sure to grab a delicious Mayday hotdog for dinner!
The Western & Southern Open continues today. Gates open at 5 p.m. for the evening matches and men’s and women’s middle rounds begin at 7 p.m. Tonight’s special events include Saks Fifth Avenue’s Night on the Runway. The fashion show, featuring the Lafayette 148 New York collection, takes place in the grandstand tent at 5:30 p.m. Guests will enjoy dinner, a cash bar, make-up demos and more throughout the show, which will wrap up just in time for the evening session matches.
Ongoing events: Reggae Wednesday on Fountain Square with The Ohms; Hofbrauhaus beer stein-holding competition; Sexy Time Live Band Karaoke at Northside Tavern; Apollo @ the Greenwich; Bandstand Bluegrass at Washington Park with Moonshine Drive.
Thanks for the paragraph about the show at Mayday tonight. Mark Serdula, also of Atlanta, is on this show as well. It is gonna be really really fantastic and a fun way to support non-traditional comedy! Plus, delicious dogs!
