SUMMARY:Lenny Clarke
DESCRIPTION:There’s a certain kind of comic who doesn’t just walk on stage… he *takes it over*. That’s Lenny Clarke. A Boston original through and through\, he came up during the city’s wild comedy boom in the ’80s\, building a reputation on straight-shooting\, blue-collar humor and stories that feel like they were pulled right out of a barroom at last call. He’s loud\, sharp\, unpredictable… and completely in control the whole time. \nYou’ve probably seen him even if you don’t realize it. From Rescue Me to The John Larroquette Show and Are You There\, Chelsea?\, Clarke’s presence jumps off the screen the same way it does on stage. But stand-up is where he really lives. That’s where the stories stretch\, the punchlines hit harder\, and the crowd becomes part of the ride. \nWhen he grabs the mic\, you’re not getting a polished\, safe set… you’re getting the real thing. Big personality\, fast pace\, and that unmistakable Boston edge that doesn’t hold back. It’s the kind of show where you don’t quite know what’s coming next… just that you’ll be laughing when it hits. \nPlease Note \nFor mature audiences only. Located in the Casino of the Earth at Mohegan Sun. \nAll seating for live music is first-come\, first-served. For reservations of five or more\, email [info@comixmohegansun.com](mailto:info@comixmohegansun.com). \nMinors are welcome in the Roadhouse for dining until 10:00pm. The 10:00pm Comedy Club and 9:15pm Roadhouse shows are 21+. All earlier Comedy Club and Roadhouse shows are 18+.

SUMMARY:Marcello Hernández at Foxwoods
DESCRIPTION:Marcello Hernández at Foxwoods brings one of the fastest-rising young comedians in the country to the Premier Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino for two performances on Saturday\, May 23. Best known for his breakout work on Saturday Night Live\, Marcello Hernández quickly became a fan favorite thanks to his sharp observational humor\, high-energy storytelling\, and effortless stage presence. Drawing heavily from his Cuban-Dominican background\, Miami upbringing\, dating experiences\, and family dynamics\, Hernández has developed a comedy style that feels conversational\, fast-moving\, and deeply plugged into younger audiences and internet culture without losing mainstream appeal. \nBefore joining Saturday Night Live\, Hernández built momentum through stand-up clips\, digital comedy content\, and appearances at major comedy festivals\, eventually earning recognition as one of the breakout voices of a new comedy generation. His performances often move rapidly between personal stories\, cultural observations\, crowd interaction\, and exaggerated impressions\, creating the feeling that audiences are watching someone think in real time. That unpredictability has translated especially well to live audiences\, where his sets tend to feel energetic and loosely controlled in a way that keeps crowds constantly reacting. \nThe performances take place inside the Premier Theater at Foxwoods Resort Casino\, one of the region’s largest entertainment venues for nationally touring comedians\, musicians\, and live productions.

SUMMARY:Charlie Puth - Whatever's Clever! World Tour with special guests Daniel Seavey & Ally Salort
DESCRIPTION:Charlie Puth is an American singer\, songwriter\, and producer known for his sharp ear\, clean pop sound\, and ability to turn simple ideas into massive hits. He first broke through in a big way with “See You Again\,” his collaboration with Wiz Khalifa for the film *Furious 7*. The song became a global phenomenon\, topping charts around the world and earning multiple Grammy nominations. Before that\, he had been quietly building an audience online\, posting covers and original songs that showed off both his voice and his production instincts. \nWhat sets Puth apart is how involved he is in every layer of his music. He writes\, produces\, and arranges most of his work\, often starting with a melody or even a single sound and building outward. Albums like *Nine Track Mind*\, *Voicenotes*\, and *Charlie* show that progression clearly—moving from polished pop into something more personal\, rhythm-driven\, and experimental. Songs like “Attention\,” “We Don’t Talk Anymore\,” and “Left and Right” highlight his knack for catchy hooks while still feeling tightly constructed and intentional. \nOver time\, he’s also become known for pulling back the curtain on how music gets made. Through social media\, he’s shared his creative process in real time\, breaking songs down to their smallest pieces and letting fans see how an idea becomes a finished track. It’s made him feel less like a distant pop star and more like someone you’re watching work in the room. That mix of technical skill\, accessibility\, and instinct for melody has kept him relevant as both an artist and a behind-the-scenes force in modern pop.

SUMMARY:Becky Robinson: The Beasts In Me Tour
DESCRIPTION:Becky Robinson: The Beasts In Me Tour brings the wildly unpredictable comedian and viral character creator to Foxwoods Resort Casino for a night of stand-up\, characters\, and chaotic energy that has made her one of the fastest-rising comedy performers touring today. Originally from Portland and now based in Los Angeles\, Becky Robinson built a massive following online through outrageous character work\, sharp improvisation\, and her fan-favorite “Entitled Housewife” persona\, a country club chaos agent whose videos exploded across social media during the pandemic years. Her performances tend to blur the line between stand-up\, sketch comedy\, and full theatrical meltdown in the best possible way. \nRobinson’s comedy style thrives on unpredictability. One minute she’s delivering rapid-fire observational jokes\, the next she’s fully transformed into one of her larger-than-life characters with exaggerated confidence and zero self-awareness. That energy helped launch her from viral clips into sold-out theaters and major industry opportunities\, including voice work for Nickelodeon\, DreamWorks\, and Netflix. Fans may also recognize her from appearances on Wild ‘N Out\, The G Word with Adam Conover\, and her original comedy music release “Mama Needs a Claw\,” which became something of a cult anthem online. \nThe show takes place at Foxwoods Resort Casino\, one of the region’s largest entertainment destinations and a regular stop for nationally touring comedians\, musicians\, and live performers. Becky Robinson’s live sets have developed a reputation for feeling loose\, energetic\, and interactive\, with audiences often unsure what character or bit might appear next. The Beasts In Me Tour is restricted to guests 18 and older due to mature content and language. Tickets for Becky Robinson can be purchased by clicking the event link below. \nRules and Suggestions:\n• This show is restricted to guests ages 18 and older\n• Arriving early is recommended for parking\, security\, and seating\n• Mature language and adult comedy themes should be expected\n• Guests should check venue policies regarding phones\, bags\, and photography before arrival\n• Foxwoods offers dining and nightlife options for guests planning a full evening outing\n• Tickets can be purchased by clicking the event link below \n

SUMMARY:The Eagles Experience - a Tribute Band
DESCRIPTION:The Eagles Experience – a Tribute Band brings the harmony-driven sound of classic California rock to Courthouse Center for the Arts for two nights of familiar hits\, nostalgia\, and live music that feels built for a spring night out in southern Rhode Island. Paying tribute to Eagles during the group’s iconic 1970s era\, the band recreates the layered vocals\, country-rock guitars\, and laid-back atmosphere that turned songs like “Hotel California\,” “Take It Easy\,” “Lyin’ Eyes\,” and “Desperado” into enduring classics. For longtime fans especially\, these songs carry the kind of instant recognition that can transform an audience from quiet listeners into full-room singalongs within minutes. \nLocated along scenic Kingstown Road\, the Courthouse Center for the Arts has become one of Rhode Island’s most charming intimate performance venues\, hosting everything from tribute acts and theater productions to local concerts and community arts programming. The restored historic building gives performances a warm\, close-up feeling that larger arenas simply cannot match. Instead of giant video boards and stadium crowds\, audiences here get live music in a relaxed setting where every harmony and guitar solo feels personal. That atmosphere works especially well for an Eagles tribute show\, where the music itself is rooted in storytelling\, musicianship\, and mellow late-night energy. \nPart of what makes tribute nights like this so popular is the shared nostalgia they create across generations. Some audience members grew up with these songs on vinyl and FM radio\, while others know them from road trip playlists\, movie soundtracks\, and family gatherings. The Eagles Experience leans heavily into recreating the original feel of the band’s live performances\, from the instrumentation to the vocal arrangements. The concerts take place Friday\, May 22 and Saturday\, May 23 from 7:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Courthouse Center for the Arts. \nRules and Suggestions:\n• This event is open to all ages\n• Outside food and beverages are not permitted\n• A full bar is available onsite for adult guests\n• Free parking is available at the venue\n• Arriving early is recommended for easier seating and parking access\n• Fans of classic rock may want to expect a singalong atmosphere during major hits\n• Tickets can be purchased by clicking the event link below \n

SUMMARY:19th Nervous Breakdown (Rolling Stones Tribute) at the Charlestown Rathskeller
DESCRIPTION:19th Nervous Breakdown (Rolling Stones Tribute) at the Charlestown Rathskeller brings classic rock swagger and Rolling Stones energy to Charlestown Rathskeller Tavern on Saturday\, May 23\, from 8:00 to 11:00 PM. Set among the outdoor seating\, fire pits\, and wooded atmosphere of the historic Rathskeller property\, the night combines live rock music with one of Rhode Island’s most recognizable summer nightlife destinations. \nHeadlining the evening is 19th Nervous Breakdown\, a regional tribute act dedicated to recreating the sound\, attitude\, and stage energy of The Rolling Stones. The band’s performances pull from decades of Stones classics and deeper catalog favorites\, delivering the guitar riffs\, blues-rock grooves\, and larger-than-life swagger that helped define arena rock for generations. From danceable crowd favorites to rawer rock-and-roll cuts\, the show leans heavily into the feeling of a full classic rock concert rather than a simple cover set. \nThe Charlestown Rathskeller setting adds another layer to the experience\, encouraging guests to arrive early for food\, drinks\, and outdoor gathering before the music starts. Between the rustic atmosphere\, open-air layout\, and holiday weekend energy\, the venue naturally fits a night built around timeless rock songs and dancing under the trees. For longtime Rolling Stones fans\, casual classic rock listeners\, or anyone simply looking for a lively Memorial Day weekend night out\, 19th Nervous Breakdown delivers exactly the kind of soundtrack the Rathskeller was made for. \n

SUMMARY:Misquamicut Drive-In: JURASSIC PARK
DESCRIPTION:Misquamicut Drive-In: JURASSIC PARK brings prehistoric adventure roaring back to the giant outdoor screen at Misquamicut Drive-In for a summer movie night packed with suspense\, nostalgia\, and blockbuster spectacle. Directed by Steven Spielberg\, JURASSIC PARK changed movie history when it premiered in 1993\, combining groundbreaking visual effects with unforgettable action sequences and one of cinema’s most iconic musical scores. From the first towering brachiosaurus reveal to the terrifying Tyrannosaurus rex attack in the rain\, the film still feels massive on a big screen more than thirty years later. \nThe Misquamicut Drive-In has become a favorite seasonal tradition for movie lovers looking to pair classic films with Rhode Island beach town atmosphere. As the sun drops behind the shoreline and the massive screen lights up the night\, cars begin filling the lot while families and groups settle into lawn chairs\, blankets\, and open tailgates. Watching JURASSIC PARK outdoors adds an extra layer to the experience. The sounds of insects\, wind\, and darkness surrounding the drive-in somehow make Isla Nublar feel a little closer than it should. \nPart of the charm comes from the drive-in’s immersive audio setup. Guests tune their vehicle radios to 96.3 FM\, where the movie sound is transmitted directly into cars\, creating surprisingly cinematic audio throughout the lot. On cooler evenings with the windows cracked open\, the dinosaur roars and John Williams score seem to drift across the crowd from every direction. Speakers positioned near the front rows also project audio outside for guests sitting close to the screen\, adding to the communal atmosphere.

SUMMARY:Journey
DESCRIPTION:Journey on tour today isn’t the same lineup fans remember from the late ’70s or even the Steve Perry era—but it’s still anchored by one constant. At the center is Neal Schon\, the founding guitarist who has carried the band’s sound from the beginning. Alongside him is longtime keyboardist Jonathan Cain\, a key songwriter behind many of their biggest hits\, and lead vocalist Arnel Pineda\, who has fronted the band since 2007 and brought a new generation into the fold.  \nRounding out the current touring lineup is a tight group of working musicians who keep the live show full and dynamic. Drummer Deen Castronovo handles both rhythm and backing vocals\, while bassist Todd Jensen locks in the low end. Keyboardist and vocalist Jason Derlatka adds depth to the band’s layered sound\, helping recreate the signature harmonies and textures fans expect. \nWhat’s interesting about Journey now is that it feels less like a fixed lineup and more like a continuation of the band’s legacy. Over the decades\, members have come and gone\, but the core identity—those big hooks\, soaring vocals\, and arena-sized emotion—has stayed intact. This current version of Journey leans into that history while still delivering a polished\, high-energy live show\, especially on their recent farewell-style tours\, which are built as a celebration of everything the band has been for more than 50 years.

SUMMARY:Westerly Pawcatuck Memorial Day Parade 2026
DESCRIPTION:Westerly Pawcatuck Memorial Day Parade 2026 returns on Monday\, May 25\, bringing one of the region’s longest-standing patriotic traditions through the streets of Westerly and Pawcatuck.

The atmosphere throughout the event tends to balance solemn remembrance with the unmistakable feeling of a traditional small-town Memorial Day\, where families line the streets\, veterans are greeted with applause\, and generations come together to honor those who served. For many local residents\, it remains one of the defining community events of the holiday weekend. \nSEO Description:

SUMMARY:Sip ‘N’ Spin Pottery Workshops (21+)
DESCRIPTION:Sip ‘N’ Spin Pottery Workshops offer a hands-on creative night for adults looking to trade screens and stress for clay\, conversation\, and a little wine on Fridays through the summer. Designed as a relaxed social workshop for ages 21 and over\, the event combines pottery instruction with a bring-your-own-drink atmosphere that turns the evening into part art class\, part night out. \nThe workshop begins with a professional wheel-throwing demonstration before participants move into creating their own pottery pieces either on the wheel or through handbuilding techniques. Instructors guide guests through the process step-by-step\, making the experience approachable even for complete beginners who have never touched a pottery wheel before. Clay and firing for up to three finished creations are included as part of the workshop. \nWhat makes Sip ‘N’ Spin stand out is the balance between creativity and atmosphere. Rather than a formal class setting\, the evening leans into a casual\, social energy where guests can laugh through uneven bowls\, experiment with clay\, and enjoy drinks while trying something new. Whether it turns into date night\, friends night out\, or simply an excuse to unplug for a couple of hours\, the workshop offers one of the more unique creative experiences happening on the shoreline this month. \n

SUMMARY:Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey The Greatest Show On Earth®!
DESCRIPTION:There’s something about the circus that taps into pure\, wide-eyed wonder… and Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus still knows how to deliver that feeling in a big way. On their current tour\, the show leans into a modern\, high-energy format—less about tradition for tradition’s sake\, more about creating a fast-moving spectacle that keeps you locked in from the first moment. Lights\, music\, movement… it all hits at once\, and before you know it\, you’re pulled into a world that feels a little larger than life. \nThe acts themselves blend classic circus elements with newer\, more theatrical production. You’ll see gravity-defying aerial performances\, tight choreography\, and stunts that make you lean forward in your seat without realizing it. It’s polished\, but not stiff… there’s still that sense that anything could go slightly off-script\, and that’s part of the thrill. The pacing doesn’t let up much either\, shifting quickly from one act to the next so there’s always something new catching your attention. \nLive\, it turns into a shared experience across the whole crowd. Kids\, adults\, first-timers\, people who haven’t been to a circus in years… everyone reacts the same way when the big moments hit. There’s laughter\, surprise\, that quick intake of breath when something feels just a little too high or too fast. If you’re looking for something that feels immersive\, visual\, and just different from the usual night out\, this tour brings that mix of spectacle and energy in a way that’s hard to replicate.

SUMMARY:Nick Bosse - Under the Stars

Doors open at 7 p.m. with music beginning at 8\, setting the stage for an outdoor night filled with acoustic energy\, conversation\, and the kind of relaxed Rhode Island nightlife that feels tailor-made for late May.

Every ticket sold helps support programs focused on stability\, housing assistance\, and resources for neighbors in need.

SUMMARY:5 Seconds of Summer: EVERYONE'S A STAR! World Tour with special guest The Band CAMINO
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve followed 5 Seconds of Summer at any point over the last decade\, you already know their shows don’t sit still for long. The EVERYONE’S A STAR! World Tour brings that same energy to Mohegan Sun Arena on May 29 at 8 PM\, pulling from a catalog that’s grown from pop-punk roots into something bigger\, louder\, and more polished without losing its edge. The release of their live album Everyone’s a Star! sets the tone—this is a band that thrives on stage\, not just in the studio. \nThe setlist is built to hit both sides of their evolution. Early breakout tracks like “She Looks So Perfect” still land with that punch of nostalgia\, while songs like “Amnesia” bring the crowd into something more emotional and layered. Newer material\, including tracks like “Telephone Busy\,” adds a fresh edge\, showing how the band has expanded its sound while keeping that core mix of hooks and attitude intact. It’s a balance that keeps longtime fans locked in while pulling in newer listeners. \nLive\, it’s all about connection and momentum. The pacing moves fast\, the crowd stays loud\, and the band leans into that shared energy that builds as the night goes on. Whether you’ve been listening since the early days or just tapped in more recently\, this stop on the EVERYONE’S A STAR! World Tour feels like one of those nights where everything clicks—big songs\, a packed room\, and a band that knows exactly how to work it.

SUMMARY:Misquamicut Drive-In: HOCUS POCUS
DESCRIPTION:Misquamicut Drive-In: HOCUS POCUS brings spooky season nostalgia and Halloween comedy to the giant outdoor screen at Misquamicut Drive-In for a movie night filled with witches\, laughs\, and autumn atmosphere. Starring Bette Midler\, Sarah Jessica Parker\, and Kathy Najimy\, HOCUS POCUS has evolved from a cult favorite into one of the most beloved Halloween movies ever made. Set in Salem\, Massachusetts\, the film follows the mischievous Sanderson sisters after they’re accidentally resurrected on Halloween night\, unleashing chaos\, magic\, and plenty of quotable moments along the way. \nThe Misquamicut Drive-In has become one of Rhode Island’s most memorable seasonal traditions\, blending classic outdoor movie culture with beach town atmosphere and a little bit of nostalgia. As darkness settles over the lot and the giant screen flickers to life\, families\, friend groups\, and couples gather in lawn chairs and open tailgates wrapped in blankets and sweatshirts. Watching HOCUS POCUS outdoors feels especially fitting once the air cools down and the night takes on that unmistakable early-fall feeling. Between the glow of the screen and the sound of laughter rolling across the crowd\, the entire evening starts to feel like a community Halloween celebration. \nPart of the experience comes from the drive-in’s immersive setup. Guests tune their radios to 96.3 FM to hear the movie audio directly through their vehicles\, creating crisp sound across the entire lot. On cool evenings with the windows down\, the soundtrack and dialogue drift through the air in a way that almost feels cinematic beyond the screen itself. Speakers near the front rows also project sound outward for guests sitting outside close to the screen\, adding another layer to the atmosphere. With witches flying across the giant screen under the open night sky\, HOCUS POCUS becomes exactly the kind of movie people want to watch with a crowd. \nRules and Suggestions:\n• Tune vehicle radios to 96.3 FM for movie audio\n• Front-row guests can also hear audio through outdoor speaker systems\n• Lawn chairs\, hoodies\, and blankets are encouraged for guests sitting outside vehicles\n• Arrive early for preferred parking and setup space\n• Vehicle headlights and bright interior lights should remain off during the movie\n• Cooler nighttime temperatures near the shoreline make layers a good idea\n• Guests should review venue policies regarding food\, beverages\, and outside items before attending \n
