Rob Schneider at Hu Ke Lau • Thursday
I saw Rob Schneider at the Hu Ke Lau a few years ago. I left feeling I had my fill of his weird comedic persona. Former SNL regular and a staple in pretty much every Adam Sandler movie known to man, he brings out the dumb giggles. “You can do it!” Plus the Hu Ke Lau has some yummy comfort food and some funky drinks for your dining pleasures. $25, 8 p.m., 705 Memorial Dr., Chicopee — Jennifer Levesque
Tuba, Tuba, Tuba! • Wednesday
The bass timbre of a tuba is lush, deep and round, light and airy. You don’t get this sound — like the womb, like the Earth spinning in space — when tubas are blasting joyful polka. But in a concert setting, the sound is deep like a river. Hear for yourself Wednesday at UMass Amherst Bezanson Recital Hall at 8:15 p.m. when John Bottomley on tuba and Nikki Stoia on piano play Brahms, DiLorenzo, more. $3-$10. — Kristin Palpini
Outfest on the Road • Friday to Sunday

Michale Graves at 13th Floor • Saturday

Saturday at 9:00 p.m. 13th Floor Music Lounge. 99 Main St, Florence. $11 adv., $15 at door. — Peter Vancini
