Nick Offerman: Live!

Popular comedian Nick Offerman will be stopping in Baltimore for a live standup performance.

Time: Doors open at 6 p.m.; event starts at 7 p.m.

Location: The Lyric (140 W. Mt. Royal Ave.)

The Baltimore Banner thanks its sponsors. Become one.

Cost: Tickets start at $20.50

Family friendly? Not quite sure that’s a good idea.

Frozen yogurt shop sweetFrog is providing children time and space to paint their own ceramic pumpkin dishes. After doing so, kids can enjoy a cup of frozen yogurt. Parents are also welcome to decorate a dish, but please don’t show up without a child.

Time: 6 p.m.

Location: sweetFrog (852 N. Rolling Rd., Catonsville)

‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’

CFG Bank Arena is hosting a who’s who of R&B groups Saturday. Acts such as Xscape, 112, Next and Bell Biv Devoe will be performing, plus more. If you want to join a bunch of people scream-singing “That girl is poisoooon” in unison, this is the place to be.
