Chris Thayer: No One Asked For This Tour 05.18
Salt Lake City got a taste of L.A. for one night in a small, homey Downtown establishment. SLUG was there when Chris Thayer stopped by Mo’s American Diner to tell his own brand of awkward and hilarious jokes, and he brought a friend, Anna Seregina. … read more
Christopher Titus: Angry Pursuit of Happiness Tour @ Wiseguys 05.09
Christopher Titus is unapologetically raw, angry and hilariously funny. His rant-style monologues are similar in fashion to other comedy greats like George Carlin, or even contemporaries like Bill Burr and Louis C.K. (whom I had never heard of until Titus opened a new world of comedy for me). … read more
Natashia Mower: Just Being Funny
Natashia Mower is one of the hardest working comedians currently in the Utah Comedy scene, and she’s one funny force to be reckoned with. Her quick and accessible comedy is second only to how genuinely nice she is as a human being. … read more
Renaissance Faire 2015: A Knight To Remember
The sun was high and the ground muddy. Horses slipped as they attempted to trot through the jousting field. The sprawling grounds on which the Renaissance Faire is located were void of their weekend crowd. The many stages were bare and the only noise came from the multitude of birds and crickets from the surrounding swamp and the sporadic, distant barking of an unknown dog. … read more

Sometimes, Life Feels Like a Story: David Sedaris @ Kingsbury...
We hear a lot about author and humorist David Sedaris’ incisive wit and genius storytelling. Until he visited Salt Lake as the final installment of Kingsbury Hall’s season, it never occurred to me just how impressive it was that Sedaris could fill up an auditorium by, essentially, reading his stories aloud. … read more
Play @ Photo Collective Studios 05.01
Throughout Play—an evening of dance performance, multimedia installation and license to discover—I found myself wanting to chorus a resounding “Yes!” to all of it: to women in collaboration, to dance, to the intersection of more art forms than one, to open-minded spaces, to inspired interaction. … read more
Gallery Roll – May 2015
Last year, in honor of National Bike Month, I took a group of friends on a Gallery Stroll bike ride. Later, one friend called it a Gallery Roll. When I researched it further, I found that Salt Lake Gallery Roll has been officially changing their name every May, for the last 10 years, to Gallery Roll.
Repertory Dance Theater: From Radical Beginnings To A 50-Year Reunion
The Repertory Dance Theatre (RDT) is at a threshold. It has been around 50 years since a group of Salt Lake City dancers secured a Rockefeller grant and founded “the nation’s first successful modern dance repertory company.” … read more
SLUG Style: Eva Problems
SLUG asked Eva Problems what three words she would use to describe her style. “Scaly metal witch,” was her reply, and this made us pretty excited to meet up and see what she is all about. … read more
