Welcome to the weekend, people! No Seahawks Super Bowl game til next week, but we have a bevy of great stuff in our neck of the woods. You can see for yourself in our event listings and Staff Picks. 

As I peruse the listings, I found a few highlights for Friday, Jan. 23: 

COMEDY | The Bartlett is hosting its first comedy concert, and they got one of the best comics in the country headlining in W. Kamau Bell. Read our quick primer to his politically charged style right here. 

COMEDY | I'm sensing a theme here. Across town from the Bell show, Legit creator and star Jim Jefferies brings his standup show to The Bing. Here's a taste of Jefferies doing his thing with Conan, because that's what's safest: 
SPORTS | U.S.A.! U.S.A.! You can head to the semi-finals of the USA Boxing National Championships Friday (finals are on Saturday) and everyone you root for is a red-blooded American! Cheering has never been so easy, just root for all of them. I'll be yelling in particular for Tiara Brown, the defending featherweight champ on the women's side who patiently answered by Rocky-inspired questions on a visit to our office.
