Bare Arms Brewing continues to be Waco’s comedy hotspot as Deece Casillas performs on Friday and Saturday nights. The internationally touring Latino comedian combines big-city energy with small-town charm, creating a biting and sarcastic comedic style. So why not enjoy a few craft brews and a lot of laughs?
Wrestling returns to Brotherwell Brewing on Saturday night as World Class Revolution presents Trendsetters. See Max Heights take on Gideon Vane, Murder Inc. put its tag team titles on the line against Fly Def, and tons of other action too. Bell time is 6 pm, so don’t be late!
What’s Halloween without ghost stories? Get your fix next Wednesday night when Waco Civic Theatre brings tales of the macabre to Pivovar, starting at 9 pm. Just make sure to watch out for those things going bump in the night.
