Don’t let this innocent looking photo fool you. Jessica Michelle Singleton brings just enough naughty to her stand-up comedy to give an edginess to her performance.

She is here in Reno for 5 funny stand-up performances, so catch her at one of them. Visit RenoTahoeComedy.com for showtimes and ticket sales.

RENO-SPARKS LIVESTOCK EVENTS CENTER
The aroma of cotton candy and buttered popcorn, the excitement of building music, the bravery of acrobats and tightrope walkers, and the courage of motorcyclists taking on the “globe of death.” Experience all this and more at Jordan World Circus, coming to The Biggest Little City this weekend.

FRIDAY, MARCH 6- SATURDAY, APRIL 4 (DAYS VARY BY WEEK)
GOOD LUCK MACBETH THEATRE
It’s opening weekend of Michael Frayn’s Noises Off at Good Luck Macbeth Theatre this weekend! The play, brimming with slapstick comedy, takes a fond look at the follies of theatre folk, whose susceptibility to out-of-control egos, memory loss, and passionate affairs turn every performance into a high-risk adventure. It is more specifically a play-within-a-play that captures a touring theatre troupe’s production of ‘Nothing On’ in three stages: dress rehearsal, the opening performance, and a performance towards the end of a debilitating run. Frayne gives us a window into the inner workings of theatre behind the scenes, progressing from flubbed lines and missed cues in the dress rehearsal to mounting friction between cast members in the final performance. This delightful production runs through April 4! For tickets and more info, please visit GoodLuckMacbeth.org.
SATURDAY, MARCH 6 (8 pm)

You might be wondering why the band 311 is named 311… Well, it just so happens that it originated from the police code “311” that indicates indecent exposure.
