ENCOUNTER

A collaborative exhibit featuring furniture designer Nina Cho and fiber artist

admission. I.M. Weiss Gallery, 2857 E Grand Blvd. #104, Detroit; designcore.org.

performing at some of New York City’s most notable comedy clubs — including
Laugh Factory, Carolines, and Gotham Comedy Club. Her 2019 Comedy Central
special, Talking to Myself, was produced by Bill Burr and featured Kirson’s

therapist. Kirson currently works as a contributor on The Howard Stern Show,

Combining elements of punk rock, electronic, and industrial music, this
experimental hip-hop trio’s 2012 debut album, The Money Store, was met with

instruments, a Death Grips live show promises to be anything but boring. Sept.

Detroit; pbdetroit.com.

20th anniversary of his debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin.’ The tour makes
stops in North America and Europe, including a stop here in Detroit. Sept. 17.
