Top Events

  • Every Mon., Tue., Wed., Thu., Fri., Sat. - Eric Kipp may be brilliant. Without a doubt, the spirit of San Francisco itself pulses quickly in his veins, because he is the creator of Hiking Yoga. It's exactly what it sounds like; you follow the charge up one of our butt-bustin' hills, and once you're up there, the organizer/sherpas hand...

  • 6:00 p.m. fourth Tue. of every month - Sketch Tuesdays, founded in 2006, is a monthly event where 20 or so local artists hang out and make their art on a small scale. When the artwork is completed it becomes available to purchase by the audience mingling nearby -- and often for cheap! If you like the funky fresh art up on the wall...

  • 8:30 p.m. every Fri., Sat. - The Audium was started in 1965 by composer Stan Shaff and equipment designer Doug McEachern. Shows are Fridays and Saturdays, and you have to be there on time — they lock the door. The room fits 50 people or so. There are chairs arranged in a semicircle. There are something like 180 spe...

  • Daily - As a self-described "logical extension of a free public library," our local free walking-tour company is, like most libraries, a fascinating mash of nerdy and white-hot rad. The San Francisco City Guides walking tours happen every day (except major holidays), are free, and follow in the foots...

  • June 2 - Do yourself a favor: Today is the California Academy of Sciences Free Day. Emphasis on day -- perfect for the funderemployed, who more than anyone deserve a day of brain-melting beauty. So ditch the gray pounding and run-run-run pace of the city, in favor of the 4-story rainforest exhibit, to...

  • 7:30 p.m. fourth Wed. of every month - Finding your voice as a writer is hard. Finding your voice as an erotic writer is all but impossible. In one direction is "awkward and clinical." In another is "Anne Rice." And there's literally hundreds of others that result in the rough equivalent of "I have a headache." Further complicating matte...

  • 8:00 p.m. first Thu. of every month - Mud wrestling is so over. It's like Dynasty or that mechanical-bull thing that John Travolta made famous about 50 years ago in Oklahoma or Kansas or wherever that movie was. Here in sexy San Francisco -- in the enlightened 21st century -- we have lube wrestling, namely Go Deep: Let'...

  • 7:30 p.m. second Sat. of every month - When you move to San Francisco and ask about the literary scene, Writers With Drinks is likely the first thing people tell you about. For one thing, most of us can get behind drinking as a social activity, especially when it’s being done by the witty and verbose. But the real reason is ...

  • 3:00 p.m. daily - Politicians and news outlets have started using the term "WPA" again — have you noticed? The Works Progress Administration, of course, put people to work during and after the Great Depression. Even artists were paid to work; the WPA encompassed projects that employed actors, painters, and write...

  • 6:00 p.m. May 24 - Musical chairs, ping-pong, and a karaoke DJ walk into a theater together — no, it’s not the setup for a bad joke — it’s the hilarious event concept from American Tripps, Singin’ and Pingin’. A semi-regular occurrence, tonight’s Pingin’ will mix ...

  • 8:00 p.m. May 24 - A little over a year ago, Janey Smith started putting on readings in the derelict apartment above her own: Without electricity, The Squat is lit with an abundance of tea candles and authors read from a stage composed of dirt swept up from the unfinished floors, surrounded by a huddle of attendees. T...

  • 9:30 a.m. May 26 - “You don’t cancel Christmas, and you don’t cancel Carnaval,” said organizer Roberto Hernandez back in March, when it looked like the cultural festival might not happen this year due to fiscal troubles. Since then, Hernandez and a coalition of nonprofits have been hustl...

  • 8:00 p.m. May 26 - The Hella Gay Comedy Show, one of the Bay Area’s active gay comedy groups, is getting hella straight this week in honor of its strongest comedy-world allies. Normally the Hella Gays shine the spotlight on LGBT comedians in the Bay Area, but now they’re switching it up to let their allies...

  • 7:00 p.m. May 28 - Think love in the roller rink only happens in ’70s cult classics and that thoroughly enjoyable (we swear) 2005 flick Roll Bounce, starring Bow Wow? San Francisco’s very own Godfather of Skating David Miles met his wife of 32 years while skating in Golden Gate Park, where he’...

  • 9:00 p.m. May 28 - If you are so excited about documentaries that you always can’t even wait another minute to see one, you’re in luck. Two of the most talked-about documentaries showing during SF Docfest will be previewed Tuesday night at the Roxie. There’s the film 10th Parallel, in which a Brazili...

  • Every Tue., Wed., Thu., Fri., Sat., Sun. until May 27 - He unified China, started construction on the Great Wall, introduced innovations like chariots and swords, built roads, and had his enemies buried alive. The First Emperor, Qin Shihuang, started planning for his death when he was 13 and built himself a tomb that contained a vast underground city gua...

  • Daily until June 2 - Since the beginning, artists have yearned to stop time, or at least to examine their nagging awareness that it's unstoppable. But only San Rafael native Christian Marclay has so successfully managed to turn the anxious sport of clock-watching into a weird and highly mediated form of transcendent...

  • 8:00 p.m. every Fri., Sat. until June 1 - Despite modern burlesque's associations with elegantly taking one's clothes off before a live audience of hooters and hollerers, burlesque is an art form that was originally intended to make us laugh. The word itself derives from the Italian burlesco, which means to jest or joke, and its ...

  • Every Thu., Fri., Sat. until June 1 - If Quentin Tarantino turned his attention to the quiet unease of American suburbia, we imagine the results would be similar to You're Going to Bleed, a dark comedy by playwright Melissa Fall about modern malaise, sex, and revenge, which premiered at the S.F. Olympians Festival and ...

  • 8:00 p.m. daily from May 24 until May 26 - Thank goodness Loni Love quit her electrical engineering job to pursue a career in comedy. Electrical engineering is cool, sure; I mean, circuits? And there’s money and probably some stability in it, but when your friend’s dad tells jokes about, say, how he’s thinking about ...

  • 8:00 p.m. daily from May 29 until May 30 - Plastic, fantastic, sarcastic robot dolls on the loose: Anna and the Annadroids presents Dullface, the newest quarter of their tetralogy Man(u)fractured.

  • Every Mon., Tue., Thu., Fri., Sat., Sun. until September 8 - Just as he was finding his voice, and as The Beat Generation was swelling up around him, Allen Ginsberg began to take photographs of his friends — portraits that attempted to contain the integrity of each subject as well as an intimate moment between them. He did this for nearly a decade, and ...

  • Daily until June 7 - They say it takes three weeks to create a habit, and the third annual KUNST-STOFF Arts Fest gives you three and a half of them to take dance classes, participate in workshops on choreography and creative-intuition, and attend performances loosely centered on the theme “Inhabit.” C...

  • 6:30 p.m. every Wed. - Not everyone is comfortable talking about sex. In fact, just hearing the word in public is enough to make some people uneasy, even here in liberal San Francisco. For those of you looking to explore your sexuality in the new year (or are just curious what the fuss is all about), head on over to Good ...

  • 6:00 p.m. last Sun. of every month - “L-L-L-L-Lfffff.” What word is spelled like that? Nothing, but you never know how you might start spelling words when you’re drunk. That’s the idea behind the aptly-named Drunken Spelling Bee, during which competitive spellers can get all the beer they want for just $15 until...
