Saturday: Melon Legend Gallagher

Mike Paulus |

Listen up as I dole out the truth: As far as melon-based humor goes, it just don’t get no bigger than friggin’ Gallagher, baby. With over 100 shows per year and countless watermelons destroyed, comedy legend Gallagher, best known for his prop comedy with his Sledge-O-Matic hammer, aims for a smashing time at the Ramada Convention Center in downtown Eau Claire. The show starts at 8pm, and tickets cost a juicy$23.50/$30.50, but hey, as I said, it’s friggin’ Gallagher.

Also on Saturday: Planetarium Show, Brian Bethke + Leiah Webb, No Better Cause, Barefoot in the Park, Rudy's Holidaze Reunion, and Desolatevoid + Marked by Failure + The Parrish + Electric Wagon Burner.

Art shows: Anatomical Autonomy (Sammy Jean Wilson); Eric Lee & Jason Lanka Art Exhibit; Holy Mackerel: The Artwork of Ivy, Emma and Sandra Klinbeil.
