Schumer's star eclipsed by opening act Usually at any concert the opening act is designed to serve as a solid appetizer to get the audience settled in for the headline performer.

Burr brings the funny to The Pabst It's a pretty rare accomplishment for a stand-up comedian to receive a standing ovation from half the audience before telling a single joke, but Bill Burr managed to get such a response before starting his sold out late show at the Pabst Theater Friday night. Constantly touring, Burr has proved to be one of the most prolific stand-up comedians currently working. |

Tame Impala caters to college atmosphere For the most part, Tame Impala isn't a very flashy band. Kevin Parker hardly makes any sudden movements except for some slight arm swaying and holding his guitar up to the sky as if he's succumbing to the resonance he just unleashed on the crowd. Stage presence aside, it's all made up with the simple but fitting oscilloscope styled visuals and stage lighting which erupted in color with every sonic melody played by the band. Had you been anything else but sober, you could've probably seen the waves bursting from Parker's guitar. |

Ferguson's comedy is better on TV While he may have been performing in a primetime spot, the host of "The Late Late Show" Craig Ferguson was certainly not any cleaner at his Friday night performance at the Pabst Theater. |

Young performers surprise in DHS production of "Phantom of the Opera" I want to make something very clear, right from the start. I'm not saying that Dominican High School's production of "Phantom of the Opera" was a great production for a high school. This was a great production. |

First Stage Children's Theatre presents "Pinkalicious: The Musical" Feb. 22 through March 24. |

Let me take your photo Speedies' "Let Me Take Your Photo" was a little new wave-era gem with a super-catchy chorus. The title also turned out to be somewhat prescient as guitarist Greg Crewdson would later grow into one of the most respected photographers in the world. Crewdson comes to Marquette to present a lecture this week. |
