THEATER: Tonight is the first annual Downtown Clown Golden Nose Awards, where the highly coveted award for Clown of the Year will be announced, among other wacky honors. The semi-formal event – "noses optional" – will kick off with a glamorous red carpet entrance (expect tiny limos filled past capacity) and feature performances by nominees, spectacular dance numbers and fabulous door prizes. - John Del Signore

COMEDY: A few days ago we posted an interview with God's Pottery, tonight you can check them out live as they film a special for Comedy Central: "The satirical Christian rock duo God’s Pottery perform a night of mirthful music at Comix for one night only.

FILM: Brooklyn Matters, a documentary by Isabel Hill, takes a look at the proposed Atlantic Yards development:

"No single event will have a more drastic and long-lasting impact on Brooklyn than the proposed Atlantic Yards development. This uncommon proposal, however, is mostly misunderstood. Brooklyn Matters is an insightful documentary that reveals the fuller truth about the Atlantic Yards proposal and highlights how a few powerful men are circumventing community participation and planning principles to try to push their own interests forward."

Catch the screening tonight, with a panel discussion to follow.
