Mark Ellis at B Side at House of Blues

In his stand-up special, Dog Stepfather, Mark Ellis speaks about the weirdness of modern life. “Uber, I trust that way too much,” he says. “Some stranger in a Kia shows up, and … it’s like, ‘Well, you knew my first name, I guess I’ll show where I sleep. Come on this way.” Catch him for a one-night gig at House of Blues … but maybe drive there yourself. March 6, 6:30 p.m., $16-$22. –Genevie Durano

Deanna Thompson at The Space

Watching the Netflix documentary Don’t F**k With Cats can be a disconcerting experience. But what gives this true-crime yarn its heart is Deanna Thompson, a Las Vegan who plays an integral part in catching an elusive internet killer, like a badass Nancy Drew set loose on the dark web. Hear her thoughts IRL when she stops by the Space. March 6, 8 p.m., $25. –Genevie Durano

Jabbawockeez: Timeless at MGM Grand

The Jabbawockeez dance crew has regularly updated its utterly unique Las Vegas show over the course of a decade on the Strip. Last month, the show celebrated 2,000 performances of Jreamz at MGM Grand and announced the next iteration, Timeless, which makes its debut this week in the same 350-seat Jabbawockeez Theater.

“We’re approaching it not as a revamp but a whole new organism,” says Kevin “KB” Brewer, one of the masked group’s founding members. “We’re going back to our first [Vegas] project, Mus.I.C., because there’s some content there people haven’t seen for a while, but we’re breaking it all apart like Legos and reconstructing it, and it feels so different.”

Jabba’s dance show has always been powered by a carefully curated and edited soundtrack, and the soundtrack for Timeless is described as the “ultimate playlist.” “With the music, the whole aesthetic and the choreography, for the first time in the history of Jabbawockeez, we’re going from a bit of a closed circle to leveraging the collective mind-set, opening up to the other geniuses in our camp,” Brewer says. Starting March 6, Sunday-Monday, 7 p.m.; Thursday-Saturday, 7 & 9:30 p.m.; $50-$110. –Brock Radke

Kirko Bangz at Light

It’s been almost a decade since Kirk Jerel Randle, aka Kirko Bangz, released his 2011 chart topper “Drank in My Cup,” an anthem for fraternity houses and dancefloors everywhere. The Houston rapper has released a series of mixtapes since, most recently 2017’s Progression ’17. Take a listen on SoundCloud, then grab a drank (or three) at the Mandalay Bay nightclub when Bangz takes over Light on Saturday. March 7, 10:30 p.m., $20-$30. –Leslie Ventura

Uniform & The Body at Bunkhouse

Why choose between apocalyptic industrial noise and bleak avant-garde metal when you can have both at once? Brooklyn duo Uniform teams with Providence, Rhode Island, pair The Body—as in, they’re not just sharing a bill but the stage, at the same time—to bring songs from collaborative albums Everything That Dies Someday Comes Back (2019) and Mental Wounds Not Healing (2018) to life. With Dreamdecay, Foie Gras. March 7, 9 p.m., $15. –Spencer Patterson
