Eight Gigs: “Weird Al” Yankovic

Mon., Aug. 31, Harris Center for the Arts, $49-$89

Remember when Weird Al was the funniest thing ever? And then you became a teen and were too cool for parody songs? And then you reached your 20s and had hangovers all the time? And now you're like a real adult, with debt, and one night you're plowing through YouTube praying for sleep, and you run across a Weird Al video—maybe the gloriously stupid “Like a Surgeon”—and you realize, “Hey, this is actually really good”? Well, the patron saint of goofball tunes has brought his Mandatory World Tour to town to remind you. This is the second of a two-night performance. Tickets are sold out, so scrounge where you must. 10 College Parkway in Folsom, www.weirdal.com.
