FILM: There will be a handful of tickets at the door to the Roxie's Evening with Amy Sedaris, which follows the lead of last year’s successful John Waters' Sleighful of Smut. The event, which benefits the great programming at the Roxie, will feature a signing and discussion with Sedaris about her 2010 book, Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People, along with an open bar and other treats. (7:30 p.m., Roxie Theater, 3117 16th Street)

FILM: Bad Movie Night launches its War on Christmas with a rifftastic viewing of The Nutcracker, which follows BMN's tradition of featuring at least one "family" film that's actually "truly horrifying." (8 p.m., The Dark Room Theater, 2263 Mission Street)

ART: Give Get Make presents Shelter: An Exhibition Exploring Home, which brings together artists, designers, and makers to showcase work exploring the idea of home. All proceeds will be donated to building a house for a family of four. (6 to 10 p.m., Incline Gallery SF, 766 Valencia Street)
