Damme it!
Protect your nuts, guys. At Videology’s Van Damme Fight Night, comedians will announce Jean Claude Van Damme fight scenes as if they were real bouts, and you can cheer for the Muscles From Brussels (even though you know who wins). There will also be Van Damme trivia and a tight-pants high-kick competition.

Show-offs
The Show/Tell Show is just like elementary school show and tell, but with booze, prizes, comedy, and far more cursing. Which is to say: way, way better. Bring something weird to talk about and you could win $20, or just see other people share their crazy possessions and stories, plus stand-up sets from comedians.
8 pm at Over the Eight (594 Union Ave. at Richardson Street in Williamsburg, www.overt

Fab 4-year-olds
It is never too early to indoctrinate your children into loving the Beatles. At Beatles for Little Rockers, kids 10 and under learn to rock out to tunes from the greatest band of all time — as played by duo the London Souls — and complete a magical mystery art activity. Don’t worry, it’ll be years before they start questioning what “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” is really about.
