Justin Credible at Tao

No, it's not the professional wrestler of the same name, but Justin Credible's music will get you pumped up just in time for the holidays. The SKAM artist started DJing house parties when he was only 16, so he's had plenty of practice setting a vibe. December 19, 10:30 p.m., $15-$20. –Leslie Ventura

Dizzy Wright at Brooklyn Bowl

Philly's Whitney Peyton and local favorite Ekoh round out the bill. December 20, 7 p.m., $22. –C. Moon Reed

Chris Isaak at Encore Theater

Las Vegas Bowl at Sam Boyd Stadium

The Bowl's final Sam Boyd edition—before the game moves into Allegiant Stadium and begins bringing SEC and Big Ten teams to town—features a strong storyline: AP No. 18 Boise State battling former coach Chris Peterson's University of Washington squad (in Peterson's final game at the helm). At press time, the Huskies were 3.5-point favorites. 4:30 p.m., $49-$131. –Spencer Patterson

Bill Burr at The Chelsea

Comedian Bill Burr is in a perpetual state of being aggrieved. Rage-fueled humor is his schtick, brandished in an outside voice that might be off-putting to those with softer sensibilities. And that's exactly what Burr is on about: political correctness that, in his view, seems to have overcorrected. In Paper Tiger, his latest stand-up special on Netflix, he confronts a post-#MeToo world and its rapidly changing mores.

"I don't know what the f*ck is going on. But I think white women started it," he jokes. "I had no idea how difficult it was to be a white woman in the United States of America. ... I'm really f*cking annoyed how white women have the f*cking balls to throw my white privilege in my face, you know? Start to separate themselves from these 'white males, with their white male privilege.' It's like, 'Bitch, you're sitting in the Jacuzzi with me.'"

Burr isn't everyone's cup of tea, but under all that mock aggression is a guy trying to figure out the new world order. Catch some snowflake-melting barbs just in time for the holidays when he stops at the Cosmo. If you miss him this time, he starts a two-year Chelsea residency in 2020. 8 p.m., $49+. –Genevie Durano
