Expect the unexpected and plenty of holiday cheer tonight at Kung Fu Necktie when The Extraordinaires’ Holiday Revue takes over! You’ll be treated to sets by our eccentric hosts and Conversations with Enemies. Then they’ll be transforming the stage into a cozy living room for a Pee-Wee’s Playhouse-esque live television show with performances of classic holiday tunes and entertaining skits which will include guest appearances from members of Dr. Dog, Man Man, The Armchairs, and more! Life is about to get very strange soon. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $8, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman
