MUSIC: Dan Deacon and The Ed Schrader Show hold court at the Ridgewood Temple tonight. The venue is apparently "a masonic temple off the Gates stop on the J" -- expect a little more than live music. The night will be "a live action talk show variety show, w/ comedy performance and a sitdown interview w/ Michael Showalter...a full-length musical performance & sitdown interview w/ Dan Deacon."

8 p.m. // The Ridgewood Temple [1054 Bushwick Ave]

BURLESQUE: In honor of New York's Comic Con (coming up this weekend), the burlesque set has thrown together a little show. Expect appearances by: Fem Appeal, Nasty Canasta, Leyla Rose, Weirdee Girl, Little Brooklyn, and Creamy Stevens (amongst others).

10 p.m. // Fortune Cookie Cabaret [24 First Ave] // $10

THEATER: Welcome to Funland (or how to turn yourself to dust) was created by Magin Schantz and Michael Iannantuono; the twosome have put together "a totally unique show that is part circus, part musical, part dystopian fantasy, and staged in a dark basement amidst a menagerie of performance installations, concession stands and ambient music." Expect a slew of talented performers, a live band, snacks, drinks, and much more.

10:30 p.m. // Green Room [45 Bleecker St] // $12
