COMEDY: SF Sketchfest presents a rare Stella reunion, in which the crew pays homage to their early "Nightclub" days, when they hosted a weekly showcase for alternative and mainstream comedy. The event features special surprise guest comedians and live music by Release the Sunbird featuring Zach Rogue. (Get there early to score some door tickets.) (7 p.m., Mezzanine, 444 Jessie Street)

THEATER: Independent Cabaret Productions and Shakespeare at Stinson will bring a "startling" rendition of Tony-award-winning musical Cabaret to the intimate Young Performers Theatre, a space much like the pre-World-War-II Berlin locale the story is based on, enabling the audience to experience "the dark, decadent world of Weimar Germany, a strange locale on the border of drama and burlesque, a place on the edge of civilization and of humanity itself." (Young Performers Theatre, Fort Mason Center, Building C, Room 300, Marina and Buchanan)

MUSIC: Mia Dawson, "one of Australia's finest musical exports to the United States," "gracing American audiences with soulful lyrics, extraordinary guitar playing, and her gritty, yet gorgeously haunting voice," headlines Cafe Du Nord tonight, along with guests Hotels & Highways and Eric Himan. (8 p.m., Cafe Du Nord, 2170 Market)
