COMEDY: KYLE KINANE “I don’t understand why the people who play the lottery aren’t more afraid of lightning.” That’s how Kyle Kinane opens his recent comedy special, Trampoline in a Ditch, and it’s a good example of how this Midwestern philosopher will take an idea through the process of becoming a joke, and then continue processing it until it gets funnier and funnier and goes too far, to the point where you can’t believe you’ve been laughing at the same idea for how many minutes now? Don’t let the sleepy eyes and scruffy beard fool you. Kinane is a deep thinker, at least the kind of thinking we all do after a few beers, and he has plenty of time—six stand-up shows at Downtown’s hip comedy club on Main Street—to explore all those ideas until he’s gone too far. Thru 1/15, 7 p.m. (& 9:30 p.m., 1/13-1/14), $35, Wiseguys, vegas.wiseguyscomedy.com. –Brock Radke

PARTY: KASKADE Now that the out-of-towners from CES have come and gone, it’s a great time to see Kaskade’s new residency at Zouk Nightclub at Resorts World. Ryan Raddon surprised exactly no one when he jumped over to Zouk for 2023 after making his post-pandemic comeback at Tao Group venues like Omnia and Tao Beach Dayclub. His big-room experience and multiflavored, approachable sound continue to create demand for sets at the newest Vegas venues, and besides, his Kx5 collaborator Deadmau5 is already spinning at Zouk. Since Kaskade will be spending the better part of the first quarter here, we can expect to hear all the new music and fresh takes on classic tracks with which he has been tinkering. 10 p.m., $30-$50, Zouk Nightclub, zoukgrouplv.com.

MUSIC: GEORGE CLINTON & PARLIAMENT-FUNKADELIC This might be your last chance “to dance your way outta our constrictions.” Possibly. George Clinton is 81 years old, and the pioneering funk talent first announced his retirement from the stage nearly five years ago. He’s dismissed that retirement several times since to perform sets of P-Funk classics with a young, hungry touring band. (“It’s always been about the music and the band,” Clinton told Billboard in 2018. “That’s the real P-Funk legacy. They’ll still be funkin’ long after I stop.”) Clinton’s role in the band is minor at this point—he’ll sing a few verses here, a bit of chorus there—but it’s still a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer up there, dropping “One Nation Under a Groove,” “(Not Just) Knee Deep” and “Up for the Down Stroke” like they’re hot. Don’t miss your chance. 10 p.m., $29-$125, International Theater at Westgate, westgateresorts.com. –Geoff Carter

MISC: BRUNCHED BY AN ANGEL Connect with spirits over spirits at this only-in-Vegas brunch show, created by Emmy award-winning daytime producer Shane Farley. Brunched by an Angel pairs mimosas with mediums as talented clairvoyants Reginald Lewis, Loriann Mans and Christopher Allan provide readings to diners looking to reach their departed loved ones. A live performance, composed by acclaimed music director Rob Lewis, will score this two-hour event followed by a buffet-style brunch featuring a build-your-own biscuits and gravy station, a culinary post for doughnuts, waffles and French toast, and enough bacon to rouse the dead from their slumber. 10 a.m. & 1:30 p.m., $75-$200, Kaos at Palms,

SPORTS: VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS VS. DALLAS STARS During their team’s six-year history, Golden Knights fans have enthusiastically paid tribute to former players and coaches who have returned to T-Mobile Arena on the opposing side. It’ll be interesting to see how they react to the first appearance by a polarizing figure, Pete DeBoer, now coach of the Dallas Stars. Though the Knights’ second coach finished his tenure here with a 98-50-12 record and took the team to the Western Conference Finals twice, some fans never warmed up to him after he came over from division rival San Jose to replace original VGK coach Gerard Gallant. In his first year with the Stars, DeBoer had his squad in first place in the Central Division at press time, largely on the strength of a dynamic first line comprising Jason Robertson, Roope Hintz and onetime Golden Knights nemesis Joe Pavelski. 3 p.m., $25+, T-Mobile Arena, axs.com. –Spencer Patterson

ARTS: SAUNDRA LYLE: WOMEN OF FIRE Why wait until March to celebrate inspirational women? Saundra Lyle kicks off 2023 with a commemoration of her own, and you’re welcome to join in. In her latest exhibit, Women of Fire at Left of Center Art Gallery, the local artist pays tribute to women in Congress, in sports, and from the worlds of television, theater, art, literature and more. In one painting, for example, Serena Williams is depicted with her tennis racket in blue with pops of red and yellow. Lyle has partaken in other Left of Center exhibits over the years, including Bending the Arc, a group show focused on social justice and Clark County Public Art’s Representation Matters, another group show centered on Black identity and portraiture. Women of Fire runs through March 25, with a reception scheduled for January 21 at noon. Free, Left of Center Gallery, leftofcenterart.org. –Evelyn Mateos
