Eddie Huang
Renowned author, chef, and personality Eddie Huang is coming to Seattle to speak to truth and talk trash. His renowned memoir-turned-network sitcom Fresh Off The Boat has made waves in prime time by offering the rare portrayal of Asian American family life. Huang's perspectives on culture and cuisine are what the food and TV world have been waiting to see. Foodies and social justice buffs alike won't want to miss his raw stage presence. Husky Union Building, $15

Apr 23–25
Jon Dore
Canadian comedian Jon Dore is an oddball. While he casually might be recognized from an episode of How I Met Your Mother where he played a mugger, comedy nerds adore his way outside-the-box standup appearances on Conan. Bits have included he and comedian Rory Scovel unintelligibly performing two different standup sets at the same time and Scovel playing a fake usher who interrupts Dore's standup, leading to pure chaos. Whenever Dore shows up, audiences are sure to get gut-busting, cleverly stupid comedy. Laughs Comedy Spot, $10–$15

Apr 23–26
National Film Festival for Talented Youth (NFFTY)
When film purists decry the shift from celluloid to digital moviemaking they’re not thinking of the children. Without digital cameras lowering the cost threshold, the young imaginative minds showcased at the National Film Festival for Talented Youth might be forced to merely dream of their projects instead of realize them. Various venues, $11; day passes $24; 3-day passes $60–$150

Apr 23–May 24
Angry Housewives
In the mid-’80s Angry Housewives became a local phenomenon, running for a record-setting six straight years at the (now defunct) Pioneer Square Theatre. The musical story of four homemakers who channel their pent-up frustrations into forming a punk rock band captured the zeitgeist at the time and now returns for a (much shorter) run at ArtsWest. ArtsWest, $17

Shlohmo
L.A. beatmaker and Decibel Fest artist Shlohmo is bringing his lo-fi, drippy instrumental sound to Seattle. From his collaborative EP with Jerimih to his NPR and Adidas Originals breakthrough tracks, he's making quite a name for himself in the electronic scene. Neumos, $20
