‘Margaret’s Gay Sons Featuring Dylan Adler and Sam Oh’
Jan. 31 at 9:30 p.m. at Joe’s Pub, 425 Lafayette Street, Manhattan; publictheater.org.
As part of her residency at Joe’s Pub, the comedian Margaret Cho has been presenting artists whom she finds inspirational. Next in Cho’s lineup is a show featuring her latest unofficial adoptees, the comedians Dylan Adler and Sam Oh, who will each have a half-hour to present their own jokes and songs this Friday.
Recently, Adler and Cho were panelists on the CBS game show “After Midnight,” where Adler, a former writer and performer on “The Late Late Show With James Corden,” also appeared with his fall tour mate and dance partner, Atsuko Okatsuka, in September. Around that same time, Cho performed with Oh’s alter ego, Gay Virgin, on a NSFW hyperpop tune. Oh is set to release an EP featuring that song and others soon. He also has a role in Greg Daniels’s upcoming follow-up to “The Office,” which is centered on a failing Midwestern newspaper attempting to save itself.
Tickets are $25 on the Public Theater’s website. SEAN L. McCARTHY

070 Shake
Feb. 1 at 9 p.m. at Kings Theater, 1027 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn; kingstheatre.com.
The singer and rapper 070 Shake is a haunting presence, her bruised, plaintive voice a reliable source of emotional heft. Many first heard it in her soaring guest turn on Kanye West’s 2018 track “Ghost Town”; even more were introduced to Shake via “Escapism,” the 2022 hit in which her verse is a sobering interlude in the British singer Raye’s epic of heartbreak-fueled hedonism.
