COMEDY

Portlandia: The Tour The lovingly satirical show about provincial hipsterdom takes its act on the road. Actors Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein will play some music (Brownstein, a member of Wild Flag and formerly of Sleater-Kinney, is especially welcome to do so), screen clips of the show and tell stories from the set. No word on if they’ll be serving organic chicken raised in emotionally-fulfilling circumstances. Echoplex, 1154 Glendale Blvd., L.A. 8 p.m. $20-$24. attheecho.com.
