Tucker & Dale vs. Evil

Monday, October 19 @ 7:00 PM

October belongs to the horror fans. Every Monday this October, Upstairs @ Uptown becomes a screening room. Big picture, big sound, full bar, and a room built for people who actually want to watch a movie with other people instead of alone on a couch. This is the newly finished room above the Uptown Theater on Broadway. Comfortable, intimate, and just the right amount of unsettling once the lights go down. Four Mondays. Four very different flavors of horror. A grindhouse nightmare, an anthology that has become a modern Halloween staple, a horror comedy that flips the whole genre on its head, and the film that started it all. Seating is limited and first come, first served. Come early, grab a drink, get a good seat. The Lineup Monday, October 5: House of 1000 Corpses Rob Zombie's filthy, feverish debut. A carnival of grime, screaming color, and characters you will not shake off easily. Loud, mean, and unforgettable. Monday, October 12: Trick 'r Treat Four Halloween stories braided into one perfect October night, all watched over by a small burlap-sacked figure who takes the rules of the holiday very seriously. If you only see one movie this month, make it this one. Monday, October 19: Tucker & Dale vs Evil Two good-hearted hillbillies. A group of college kids who assume the worst. A pile of misunderstandings and a rising body count. The funniest horror movie of the last twenty years and a great one to watch in a packed room. Monday, October 26: Halloween (1978) The blueprint. Carpenter's original still works exactly as intended, and it works best in the dark with an audience holding its breath. Michael Myers on a big screen, days before Halloween itself. Good to know Full bar available all night Seating is general admission, first come first served Each Monday is a separate ticket

Pete Correale

Saturday, November 14 @ 8:00 PM

Pete Correale: The Voice of the Everyday Grind Pete Correale is the funniest guy at the party who somehow snuck onto the country's biggest comedy stages. For three decades, Pete has built a powerhouse stand-up career by doing something deceptively simple: treating the microphone like a backyard fence and speaking truth about the beautifully chaotic mess of everyday life. With his trademark conversational delivery, Pete doesn't just perform for his fans—he talks with them about the shared, hilarious absurdities of marriage, parenthood, owning a dog, and trying to survive it all with your sanity intact. From the Writer's Room to Special Delivery Pete's sharp comedic mind extends far beyond the microphone. He is a veteran television writer who has lent his distinct voice to hit sitcoms like CBS's Kevin Can Wait and Netflix's The Crew, alongside numerous guest stand-up appearances on late-night TV. A master storyteller, Pete has captured his genius across four highly rated, one-hour comedy specials: Things We Do For Love, Let Me Tell Ya, For Pete's Sake, and his latest release, Good Hangin', which is currently drawing rave reviews. The Podcasting Pioneer & National Headliner When he isn't on stage, Pete is a dominant force in the digital space. He is the co-creator and co-host of the wildly popular The Pete and Sebastian Show alongside comedy superstar Sebastian Maniscalco, a brilliant chemistry they also bring to their current show on SiriusXM. For the die-hard fans who want an unfiltered dose of his raw perspective, Pete created the Pete Correale Patreon Channel, which features constant premium content and his unscripted talk show, Loose Ends. Having performed in just about every venue alongside nearly every major name in the business, Pete has transitioned from a club staple to a premier national theater headliner. After blowing the roofs off major arenas as the opening act on Sebastian's massive 2024 tour, Pete continues to live on the road, bringing his brilliant, laugh-out-loud perspective to packed houses across the country.
