If the current news cycle has you zapped, consider some of the events featured in today’s Weekender. For laughs, Lucky Cat comedy is holding prelims for its Funniest Person in Iowa competition, with an extensive list of shows throughout our reader regions this weekend. For a fresh music experience in Des Moines, check out the newest venue, Locals Bar & Stage, which has Hot Kunch, Hello Fellow Humans and Mango Soul this Friday. And for some community connection check out the African Festival of Arts in Iowa City or the Lowland VIII Autumn Block Party outside of Rozz-Tox in Rock Island.
