FRIDAY 06 COMEDY: Brad Williams They say luck is when opportunity meets preparation and that’s exactly how Brad Williams became a comedian. While attending a show by Carlos Mencia, Williams was called up onstage to chat with the veteran comic. Williams killed and gained the confidence to do comedy himself. However, it wasn’t his natural cleverness that helped him win the audience over that night, so much as a lifetime of using humor as a defense mechanism. Williams credits his father, an attorney by trade, for bringing humor into his life. “My dad’s one of the funniest dudes I know. He’s funnier than me. He’s great with comebacks and zingers, so he gets me a lot.” The elder Williams made fun of his son, who was born with achondroplasia, but not in a mean-spirited way. “He did it because he knew other kids would make fun of me, so he did it first to get me prepared for it. Kind of ‘A Boy Named Sue’ thing.” 7:30 and 10 p.m. Friday; 7 and 10 p.m. Saturday; 7 p.m. Sunday. $20-$52. Liberty Funny Bone, 7518 Bales St., Liberty Township, liberty.funnybone.com.

FRIDAY 06 ART: Leaves of Plates at the Lloyd Library During their artists’ residency at the Lloyd Library earlier this year, Katie Parker and Guy Michael Davis — the duo behind local studio Future Retrieval — stumbled upon a phrase while looking through the library’s catalog: “leaves of plates.” To break that down, a “leaf” refers to a book page, while a “plate” is an illustration printed separately from the text. In learning that term, Parker and Davis pored through Lloyd’s collection of illustrations in books about botany, exploration and alchemy. Though much of their leads were seemingly disparate, they eventually weaved their ideas together to create cohesive pieces inspired by their time at the Lloyd. That work culminates as Leaves of Plates. The show will feature mixed media works that include ceramics, cut paper and textiles alongside apothecary jars — all of which draw inspiration from the library’s collection. Opening reception 5:30-8 p.m. Friday. Through Nov. 22. Free. Lloyd Library and Museum, 917 Plum St., Downtown, lloydlibrary.org. Photo: Future Retrieval

FRIDAY 06 MUSIC: Rick Springfield with Greg Kihn and Patty Smyth Several ’80s Pop Rock hitmakers are traveling the country together this year as part of the “Rick Springfield Presents Best in Show” tour. For the Cincinnati tour stop, it was initially announced that Springfield — a soap opera star who turned in one of the 1980s’ more enduring Pop hits with “Jessie’s Girl” — would be appearing with Eddie Money, but Money had to drop off the lineup due to pneumonia that developed after his heart surgery. The “Two Tickets to Paradise” singer later revealed that he has been diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer. Taking Money’s place on the bill is Patty Smyth, the frontperson for Scandal, which had big hits in the ’80s with songs like “Goodbye to You” and “The Warrior.” Power Pop veteran (and now novelist) Greg Kihn, whose contributions to the ’80s zeitgeist include classics like “The Breakup Song” and “Jeopardy,” will also perform. 7:30 p.m. Friday. $23.50-$73.
