Gabriel Iglesias and Lisa Lampanelli co-star at this year's Wild 94.9 Comedy Jam, wishes she had thought to make that for one of her much-discussed boyfriends. Lampanelli calls herself the "Lovable Queen of Mean," while Iglesias is just out-and-out lovable. Kevin Hart, Bill Burr, Jeffrey Ross, JB Smoove and Jo Koy fill out the roster.

The Hollywood Reporter just named him one of the top 10 rising comedy talents from around the world, and Askmen.com dubbed him "Comedy's New Rock Star". Both are apt titles, considering that Sugar Sammy is touring the globe like a rock star, setting attendance records around the world for sold out shows in four languages English, French, Punjabi and Hindi.

Singer/songwriter Michael McDonald, of The Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan fame, has a distinctive voice and lots of hits to keep him busy on the concert circuit. He's known for catchy and inspirational pop music influenced in equal parts by Memphis-style soul, rhythm and blues, and soulful ballads.

City Lights Theater Company of San Jose proudly presents "Rent," a fresh and daring spin on Puccini's La Bohème which follows the triumphs and tragedies of eight young Greenwich Village bohemians. Mark, Roger, Mimi, and their urban group of friends and lovers search for inspiration, passion, and identity in a world full of heartache and pain.

Weaving a wondrous story of heavenly realms, enchanting dreams, and the classic struggle between good and evil, Shen Yun's breathtaking pageantry evokes themes of virtue, compassion, and courage which have lain at the heart of China's culture since antiquity. Story-based dances portray topics ranging from ancient tales of valor to modern-day epics.

Coming on like an ambient electronic band, but liable to break into a propulsive, abrasive rush at any time, Le Verita is a sonic dream of what New Wave could have been. If Ian Curtis hadn't died, if people had taken Gang of Four and Wall of Voodoo seriously. Trendy bands trying to be retro-80s could learn a lot from Le Verita about what actually made that decade's music good.

The heyday of 80s hair metal may be gone, but rockin' Dokken have continued to stick it out and still put on an awesome show. One, two, Dokken's coming for you with Dammaj, Mukagee and Darkside Shine.

Christine Andreas is a true Broadway diva from her award-winning performance as Eliza Doolittle in "My Fair Lady." This concert, performed with the SSV orchestra, is her tribute to some of the great ladies of the Great White Way, including Mary Martin, Ethel Merman, Julie Andrews, Barbara Streisand and Angela Lansbury.

'Anything Goes'

| Theater
CRIMES AT SEA: Disguised gangster Moonface Martin (Walter M. Mayes, right) and moll Erma (Mary Melnick) cross the Atlantic in style.

THE 1930s may have been an economic low point for America, but they had their glitzy side as well, a side that Foothill Music Theatre has recaptured with its lavish production of Cole Porter’s 1934 musical Anything Goes. Complete with a 45-member cast and a live band, and in the capable hands of award-winning director Jay Manley, the show displays that era’s more glamorous aspects: dazzling celebrities (who could be famous gangsters just as easily as Hollywood stars), luxury travel and of course, great Broadway music. » Read More

FASHION FINDS: At Crossroads in San Jose, (left to right) model Tiana King in a Marc Jacobs shirt; Jorge Perez in a shirt by 
Paul Smith and jeans by American Apparel; Roseanne Legaspi in a dress by Betsey Johnson and sunglasses by Ferragamo.

FAST FASHION is like fast food. Though it’s a quick fix and wallet friendly, it has an inevitable consequence: excess. In fact, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, a startling 9 billion tons of wearables are sent to landfills every year. So instead of mindlessly discarding these items, many people are choosing to capitalize on their used garments through recycled apparel stores. Locally, Crossroads Trading Company and Moon Zooom exchange more closet space for a little extra cash. » Read More
