COMEDY: STAVROS HALKIAS Rising comedian Stavros Halkias once told a Las Vegas crowd he thinks it’s “hilarious” that we live here. Now a little over a year removed from his popular Fat Rascal Tour, the 36-year-old Baltimore native is set to return as part of his 40-plus stop Dreamboat Tour. Best known for his conversational crowd work and signature blend of self-deprecating and body-positive humor, Halkias’ star began rising after his 2022 special Live at the Lodge Room garnered over seven million views on YouTube. His podcast, Stavvy’s World, has since amassed a cult following. 8 p.m., $39-$89, the Chelsea, ticketmaster.com. –Tyler Schneider

Since then, participants have been doing workshops with teaching artist and emcee Dayvid Figler, who is guiding them through weaving captivating narratives to showcase in front of an audience at StorySlam. “The City of Las Vegas’ StorySlam opens the door for residents to entertainingly capture and relate their personal experiences,” Figler says. “Each performance date has a new theme, and the workshops help shape vibrant, true stories loosely tied together.” What’s more? Many of the stories take place in Las Vegas. Get ready to dive into tales of challenges, conflict and (sometimes) resolution from your own community members who have been inked. 7 p.m., $5 suggested donation, Charleston Heights Arts Center, ovationtix.com. –Shannon Miller
