Event listings
Music
Randy Rogers Band: The Randy Rogers Band scored big Texas radio hits with “Crazy People” and “I’ll Never Get Over You” from the 2019 album “Hellbent.” “I’m not the young, new kid on the block anymore,” Rogers told the Express-news then, “but we’re still here making great music with a great band.” 6 p.m. Friday (remaining weekend shows sold out), John T.

Comedy
Ali Siddiq: Houston-based comic keeps it real, drawing on his rough-and-tumble past, including a prison stint for drug trafficking.

Brian Regan: “On the Rocks,” Regan’s new special released in February, begins with a revelation: The 62-year-old comedian has gone gray. “COVID hit,” he says. “I went into hibernation and came out a senior citizen.” If Regan were your dad, his obtuse observations might embarrass you.
