1. Daily Show contributor and “PC guy” John Hodgman brings his moustache, intellect and one-man show Vacationland to the Rio Theatre Oct. 13. What can audiences expect? Apparently, humorous discussions about Massachusetts, laws regarding the dumping of household garbage, how to decide which small animals you should love as members of your family and which you should kill and the evolutionary purpose of the weird dad mustache. Tickets at all Ticketmaster outlets.
2. Billed as “a story about two generations of CBC broadcasters and the radio silence between them,” former host of The Roundup Tetsuro Shigematsu performs his multi-media show Empire of the Son at the Cultch until Oct. 24. For tickets and details, go to.
3. Singer songwriter Angel Olsen brings her haunting folk stylings to town for a sold out show at the Biltmore Oct. 8 in support of her latest album Burn Your Fire For No Witness. Lionlimb opens.
4. At 58 years of age and still going strong, pop music icon Madonna proves what many have long suspected: she’s an alien lifeform who can stop time and people’s constant reference to her age is probably a little sexist. Madonna brings her Rebel Heart tour to Rogers Arena Oct. 14 for an evening of hits, dance numbers, costume changes and grown men crying to “Like a Prayer.” Perhaps we’ve said too much. Tickets at.
