Wrasslin' returns After taking over the wrestling promotion at First Avenue, wrestler Arik Cannon brought in a new level of production and story lines (i.e. better male soap opera). Unfortunately, he had to put his surging monthly event on hold for a chance to wrestle in Japan last fall. Now he's back and so is F1RST Wrestling. Tonight's show, dubbed "Anarchy Rules," will feature appearances by local wrestlers turned national stars, such as former WWE villain Daivari and TNA women's contender ODB. (7 p.m. today, 701 1st Av. N., Mpls. $8. 18 and older. 612-332-1775. www.first-avenue.com.)
Clubbin' for Kenya The promoters behind "Safari," an African club night at Visage, plan to donate all of Saturday's door proceeds to the Kenyan Red Cross to help with that country's crisis. Check out www.mezeshaentertainment.com for more info. (10 p.m. Sat., Rosewood Room, 400 3rd Av. N., Mpls. $10-15. 21 and older. 612-455-2525. www.visagenightclub.com)
Back to the '80s This should be fun: Arturo Miles and Collective Dance Company usually do hip-hop shows, but Saturday at Patrick's Cabaret they're taking on the 1980s. In "The Somewhat '80s Variety Show," the crew will reinterpret your favorite '80s dance classics, leg warmers and all. Expect '80s sing-alongs (with Casio keyboard), improv comedy and break dancing. Radical! (8 p.m. today and Sat., 3010 Minnehaha Av. S., Mpls. $10. 612-724-6273. www.patrickscabaret.org)
