COMEDY: CHRIS TURNER If you missed boyish British comedian and freestyle rapper (!) Chris Turner when he helped open Cirque du Soleil’s energetic Mad Apple at New York-New York on the Las Vegas Strip, he’s coming Downtown for four weekend shows at Wiseguys. Truth be told, Turner’s one-of-a-kind improvisational talents felt a bit out of place in the Cirque version of a variety show, but that’s mostly due to the fact that his performance requires quite a bit of space and demands the spotlight. He interacts with the audience with friendly and funny banter that builds up to a completely spontaneous rap, creativity that you simply cannot believe came from this person. At Wiseguys, it’ll be an even wilder back-and-forth between artist and audience. 7 & 9:30 p.m., & 11/18, $20, Wiseguys Arts District, wiseguyscomedy.com. –Brock Radke

MISC: HAPPY DAYS “Oh this is a happy day.” That’s a frequent refrain of Winnie, the main character in Irish playwright Samuel Beckett’s 1961 play Happy Days, and it begs to be challenged. I mean, how happy can she be when her body is partially buried in a mound of soil throughout the entire play? What is happiness? Existential questions abound in this surreal tragicomedy starring Kymberly Luke Mellen and directed by Nevada Conservatory Theatre’s Stefano “Stebos” Boselli. The thought-provoking story will play out against the familiar backdrop of the Las Vegas Strip. Thru 11/19, times vary, $40, UNLV Black Box Theatre, theatre.vegas. –Shannon Miller

SPORTS: G LEAGUE IGNITE VS. SANTA CRUZ WARRIORS The Las Vegas Valley officially has too many sports teams of which to keep track, because you completely forgot about the NBA G League development squad Ignite, which tipped off another season at Dollar Loan Center last week and returns to Green Valley for a Sunday afternoon game. Seven top prospects for the 2024 NBA Draft are running the floor for the local squad, including Izan Almansa, Matas Buzelis and Thierry Darlan. And equally exciting: This is your best bet to see some live sports while going nowhere near the Strip this weekend. 2 p.m., $10-$175, Dollar Loan Center, axs.com. –Brock Radke

MISC: FILM: DELICATESSEN There may be no better way to prepare for Thanksgiving than with this dark comedy from 1991, directed by the mad geniuses who would later give us the stone 1995 classic The City of Lost Children. Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro’s French-language cult classic Delicatessen follows an out-of-work circus clown (played by Dominque Pinion, who also costarred in Lost Children and Jeunet’s splendid Amelie) into a post-apocalyptic nightmare world of cannibalism, radicalized vegetarianism and … young romance? At the very least, you’ll enjoy the film’s inventive visuals and set design, both of which nod to Terry Gilliam’s best work without copying it. But more likely, this weird, wonderful movie will take up rent-free residence in your head and keep you company through an even weirder family dinner. 9 p.m., $10, Beverly Theater, thebeverlytheater.com.  –Geoff Carter
