COMEDY | Harvard Unhinged

Want to see how far your friends will go? Come watch R-rated hypnotist Frank Santos in his one-time appearance at Harvard. This event, sponsored by the Undergraduate Council, is not suitable for those of high school age and under, making it a scandalous—and extrasensory—good time. Tickets $5, $8 Door. 7 p.m. Lowell Lecture Hall. (GCS)

MUSIC | The Mountain Goats

John Darnielle, the man behind the Mountain Goats, performs from his enormous catalogue of emotional, acoustic guitar-driven songs. The Goats’ latest offering, We Shall All Be Healed, marks their twelfth album in less than ten years, and that’s not including EPs, singles and other releases. Come early for the local roots-oriented rock of Choo Choo Larouge and the reflective folk strumming of Manishevitz. Tickets $12. 9:30 p.m. T. T. the Bear’s Place. (SLS)

FILM | Wet Hot American Summer

At midnight of every Friday in March, the Coolidge Corner Theatre will be playing this pants-wettingly hilarious parody of ’80s summer camp movies. And every Friday in March, the Crimson Arts section will feature this film in its Happening section. One of the funniest movies ever. Tickets $9. Midnight. Coolidge Corner Theatre, 290 Harvard St., Brookline. (BBC)

Saturday, March 6

MUSIC | Black Folks Guide to Black Folks

A one-woman comedic performance that was recently greeted with rave reviews in San Francisco. The show’s protagonist must portray an entire neighborhood’s worth of characters, all connected through a musical network of passion and poetry. The show explores such hot topics as homophobia within the black community, obscuring former boundaries and inducing laughs while discussing “sexuality, health, love, faith, and fear.” Includes performances by Kuumba, Baron Wright, Spoken Word Society, Oke Iweala, Shadow Box, the ’O5 Steppers, and Shanti Hubbard. 8:00 p.m. Tickets $7 general, $5 students (2 per ID), $5 Harvard ID Holders (2 per ID). Lowell Lecture Hall. (BBC)

FILM | Kill Bill, Volume One

While the award for Most Violent Film Ever has been recently handed off to Mel Gibson, Quentin Tarantino certainly provides his fair share of splattered glory in last year’s instant midnight-movie classic. Uma Thurman first fights Vivica A. Fox, then Buck (who likes to…rhyme), then eighty eight Japanese mobsters (including a blood-craving, mace-twirling schoolgirl), and finally Lucy Liu. The story’s second (and supposedly better) half has been postponed until April 16, so make sure to experience this first sanguineous volume on the big screen. Tickets $1. 8 p.m. Science Center B. (BBC)

Sunday, March 7

MUSIC | Kronos Quartet

The fearlessly experimental foursome, responsible for haunting masterpieces such as Black Angels and the Requiem for a Dream soundtrack that you downloaded last year, will perform the Boston premiere of composer Terry Riley’s Sun Rings. A joint collaboration with NASA, the performance will combine Riley’s evocative score with a series of breathtaking astral images shot by the Voyager spacecraft, to create a multi-sensory journey into space. Tickets $25-45. 4 p.m. Cutler Majestic Theatre at Emerson College, 219 Tremont St., Boston. (BBC)
