Austin, Texas-based performer Zell Miller III's wonderfully crass solo show takes an irreverent look at parenting that alternates between high-energy comedy and heartfelt moments. A talented storyteller with a gift for timing and an engaging persona, Miller strikes the right balance of humor and gravitas as he recounts the horrors and joys of fatherhood, weaving in a touch of political commentary into his monologues and poems. (10 p.m. Mon., 5:30 p.m. Wed., 7 p.m. Fri., 1 p.m. Sat., Bryant-Lake Bowl, 810 W. Lake St., Mpls.)
