Holiday music
Singing, and ringing, in the season
Saturday. You don’t have to live in Arvada to know that the Arvada Chorale is one of the more spirited performing arts groups in the region. Over the past quarter-century the community chorus has mastered a broad repertoire that covers classical, pop and jazz. It sings in the season this weekend with a program highlighted by traditional selections like “Carol of the Bells” and “Sleigh Ride.” Co-starring at the concerts are the Rocky Mountain Ringers. The groups will perform separately and together on a rousing version of “He Is Born.” It’s set for 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Arvada Covenant Church, 5555 Ward Road. Tickets are $18 for adults, $15 students and seniors, $6 for kids 12 and under. More info at www. or 720-432-9341. — Ray Mark Rinaldi
Comedy
Women stand up and deliver yuks, too
Saturday. Denver’s stand-up comedy scene has grown rapidly over the past few years, but despite our bevy of open-mics and weekly showcases, it’s mostly a dude’s game. That’s starting to change with nights like Ladies Laugh-In — Heather Snow’s third-Thursday-of-the-month show at Beauty Bar — and LadyFace, the Mile High City’s only all-female sketch comedy troupe. The group, which consists of stand-up and improv regulars Mara Wiles, Timmi Lasley, Chella Negro, Kristin Rand, Melanie Karnopp and Nicole Qualtieri, is presenting its “Greatest Story Ever Told…” show at the Spark Theater on Saturday, including a mix of stand-up, sketch, live music and videos. “To be honest, I did not set out to have it be an ‘all female’ sketch show, it just kind of ended up that my female comic friends were the ones that wanted to give it a try,” Wiles said. With special guest Jordon Doll. 7:30 and 10 p.m. 240 S. Broadway No. 102. $5. 720-346-7396 or . Be sure to check out our “Why So Serious?” Q&A with Wiles on . — John Wenzel
