1. Find yourself in Broad City at Abbi Jacobson Presents: I Might Regret This and get a chance to have Abbi (co-creator and co-star of Broad City) sign a copy of her latest essay collection about figuring out who you really are when you thought you already knew. (Monday, Books Are Magic, FREE)

2. Hear the new holiday classics at Let Me Spend The Holidays With Your Family, where comedian Tommy McNamara performs entirely original holiday songs, plus opening stand up sets from Anthony Devito and Christi Chello. (Monday, Union Hall, $6)

3. Get through winter with a class on Firecider Making, a hands on workshop where you’ll bring home a bottle at the end of class, and drink fire cider daily to jump start your morning or blend it with olive oil for a medicinal salad dressing. (Tuesday, Baby Skips, $30)

4. Envision how it could’ve gone down at Take Two Storytelling 3 Year Anniversary Show, where storytellers bring you one true story with two different endings, so while one ending is what really happened, the other rolls back the clock to make it all turn out differently. (Tuesday, C’mon Everybody, FREE)

5. One part nerd, one part slurred, Super Trashed Bros brings together comedy, video games and alcohol as players battle each other virtually while battling inebriation physically. (Wednesday, Dromedary Bar, FREE)

6. Learn about improv abroad at the Seth Meyers and Amber Ruffin Book Signing, where they and the owner of Quimby’s all worked in Amsterdam for an improv comedy theater, and the book tells how a group of Americans brought improv to the Netherlands. (Wednesday, Quimby’s Bookstore, FREE)

7. Look into our future at What Sci-Fi Movies Can Teach Tech Companies, a special evening presentation and book-signing that illustrates how sci-fi can be used as a guide for exploring the problems we face as AI, 3D printing, robots and more, increasingly govern our world. (Thursday, The Williamsburg Hotel, FREE)

8. Relive your teenage years at Mortified, a comic excavation of teen angst artifacts (journals, letters, poems, lyrics, home movies, stories, and more) as shared by their original authors before total strangers. (Thursday, Littlefield, $10)
