CHO—Margaret Cho is a legitimately groundbreaking comedian. Sure, she's openly bisexual (or "just slutty," as she famously phrased it) and an outspoken LGBT advocate, and she's got a crazy Korean mom and a history of body image and substance abuse issues.

Helium Comedy Club, 1510 SE 9th, Fri-Sat 7:30 & 10 pm, $27.50-32.50
COOKY DANCE—Every month, DJ Cooky Parker breaks out his old soul 45s for a sweaty-dancin' goodtime in the Eagles Lodge, home to enough American flags to turn even Benedict Arnold patriotic.

Eagles Lodge, 4904 SE Hawthorne, 9 pm, $5, 21+
