Busy weekend coming up! If you’re in the Seattle area, you have three chances to see us:

FRIDAY: A perfect night and a perfect spot for My Perfect Life… And Other Delusions. Caffe Bella serves up beer, wine, coffee, food and us. We’re adding our lunatic lineup of terrorist cats, Nigerian bankers, deranged Mary Kay ladies, shopaholics, chocoholics, sexaholics and nighttime frolics to the menu. Come join the fun!

Caffe Bella
Friday, July 27, 9-11 pm, $5
2621 Fifth Ave (Near Denny)
PG-13

It’s jazz and funk and stand-up comedy. It’s party time for grown-up girls and the boys who love them. It’s true confessions and dirty lies. If you’ve EVER said to yourself “If I could just fix this ONE THING then my life would be perfect” this show is for you because you already KNOW it ain’t so. You just need an excuse to laugh about it. And that’s what we’re here for, hon. If you’ve NEVER said it, you know someone who has and isn’t it time for an intervention?

My Perfect Life …and Other Delusions is a new collaboration with stand-up comics Robin Fairbanks and JeanAnn O’Brien - both major talents on the Seattle comedy scene.

SATURDAY: The first ever Redmond Arts Jam by Redmond City Hall. Musicians and spoken word artists are invited to take the stage for the first Redmond Arts Jam. We’ll combine an open mic for soloists followed with an open jam with a terrific band, including the famous Jay Roberts of Roberts Music Institute. There will also be a live poetry event on the site, chalk art for the kids and a wonderful henna artist. Musicians, singers and poets, comedians and spoken word artists are all welcome to take part. We provide PA, mics, backline amps and kit. Musicians bring own other instrument, drummers bring sticks, vocalists bring your voice, everyone bring inspiration, audience bring, ummm, ears… You must be at least 16 to take the stage and all material must be family friendly. Sign up at 6 pm. Open Mic at 7, Jam at 8. Directions (PDF)

SUNDAY: Balkanarama will perform a free 90-minute outdoor concert of songs from southern Europe next Sunday, July 29, at Forest Park in Everett. The concert will feature Rom songs from Macedonia, Romania, Hungary, Serbia, Kosovo and Spain, with additional songs from Greece, Bulgaria, Albania and Russia. Some of the songs were heard in the recent movies “Gypsy Caravan” and “Borat.” The performance is part of the City of Everett’s Music in the Parks International Series, presented by KSER 90.7 FM.
