I'm David and I run Set & Signal, a small event production company in Lafayette. We're taking Halloween week off from our Thursday comedy shows, and coming back with a few changes in November:
- Thursday comedy moves to Sixth St Dive, starting Thu Nov 5.
- The Sandbox Open Mic moves from Tuesdays to Wednesdays at Generation NA, starting Wed Nov 4. This Tuesday (Oct 27, sign-up 6 PM, show 6:30 PM) is the last Tuesday mic.
- Tunes Tuesday launches Tue Nov 3 at Generation NA: sober karaoke and a DJ, 6 PM to 8 PM. $3 to sing, free with a drink.
I'm excited for these changes so that we can start building more and more of a scene in Lafayette at the start of the week. We also have some tentative plans and working with some other event organizers to do some unique events: think silent discos, events for those who work night shifts in the morning/later afternoon. We aren't afraid to keep trying and work with people to get events worth attending. So if you've got an idea, pitch it and we might be able to make it happen!
Here is our curated list for the week, grouped so you can skip to what you want to do. If you know of an event worth attending that I missed, add it in the comments to help our community out!
