Live returns aren't usually a laughing matter (except for the abysmally funny 2000 election). This year, BOSTON NEWS NET, the city's only live weekly satirical news show, presents Political Party, five hours of comedy and live election coverage, from 8 pm until last call.
ImprovBoston, 40 Prospect Street, Cambridge, 617. 576.1253, bostonnewsnet.com
HARD ROCK THE VOTE with the Boston Phoenix, Stuff@night, and WFNX, at, where else, the Hard Rock Café. Join us for an evening of food, drink, prizes, and, of course, election coverage, broadcast on big-screen TVs. Must RSVP in advance to attend.
Visit thePhoenix.com/electionparty for details.
Eat and drink — family-style — with fellow Democrats, while catching election coverage at “BARACK THE VOTE,” part of Persephone's weekly “Tuesday Night Supper Club.” This week’s $40 prix-fixe meal ($60 with wines) features pachyderm-inspired items, including “Seared Elephant Trunk Scallops” and “White Elephant Cupcakes.” A DJ will take the stage at 10 pm. Seatings are scheduled for 6 and 8:30 pm.
