3. No blindfold needed for Trivia in the Dark, where you’ll compete for a bar tab with video and audio trivia clues, hear a fun guest lecture, and show off your useless knowledge about dark histories and our dystopian future(s). (Tuesday, Friends & Lovers, FREE)

4. See how the rules are changing at The Hyperlegible City: A Roundtable Discussion, and discuss public spaces and transportation in a conversation about technological innovation and what rules are being bent, ignored or blatantly disregarded to improve our way of life. (Tuesday, Urban-X, FREE)

5. Peek back at Brooklyn’s history in Remembering the 70s and 80s: A Bygone Brooklyn, which discuss images captured in photographer Larry Racioppo’s new book that tells the story of a gritty borough all but lost today, and the art of street photography. (Wednesday, Brooklyn Historical Society, $10)

6. Learn something new (maybe) at Drunk Science Presents: Sex, a live show where three intoxicated comedians compete to present the best scientific dissertation to a real scientist, this time with everyone’s favorite theme: sex. (Wednesday, Littlefield, $5)

7. Keep an open mind for EthnoGraphic: The Premiere, a monthly POC-centric variety show about doing more than expected that make you laugh, cry, think, squirm, and engage with performers in a ride you aren’t expecting. (Thursday, Eris Evolution, $15)

8. Try your luck at Character Roulette, where each comedian on the show has only one week to write an original set of jokes for a different member of the cast, with musical guest Feminarchy. (Thursday, Vital Joint, $5)

9. See how they do it during Everyday Decisions, where Jo Firestone hosts a live comedy talk show where special guest comedians, musicians, children, and friends discuss how they make their everyday decisions. (Friday, Union Hall, $7-10)
