Get Out! A weekend of comedy, botany and design in Buenos Aires

From an English stand-up show and costume party to a Botánico Fair and citywide design routes, here are our weekend recommendations

Wondering what to do this weekend? Head to an English-language comedy show and costume party, indulge your green thumb at a fair in the Botanical Gardens, or explore the city’s architecture through the Buenos Aires Design Circuits.

Legally Funny English Stand Up Comedy Show

Thursday 9 — Doors at 9:30 p.m., show starts at 10 p.m.

Miss Venezuela Teatro Bar (Humboldt 2341, Palermo Hollywood)

Legally Funny: Comedian Ingrid Cruz (pictured on the right) will MC the evening

Legally Funny is a night of comedy, storytelling, and costume party — all in English. Comedian Ingrid Cruz is MCing the event, which features comedians Angélica Pagès, Franco Catalano and Ángel Moreno.

The theme is “I have nowhere to wear this,” so break out your graduation robes, that Egyptian costume you got at a discount, or the bubble wrap mini dress you thought was a great idea. Now’s your opportunity. If you have no sense of humor, costumes are optional. The venue does food and drink.
