Louisville Championship Arm Wrestling: ‘Pride and Prejudice’ The Cure Lounge Free  |  10 p.m. The last time I went to a Louisville Championship Arm Wrestling event, a juggalo locked arms with a grown man dressed as a baby, and, then, afterward she spit a stream of orange Faygo into another characters mouth, while literally pulling said character’s chain. The point of that weird one-sentence story was to establish that you’re not walking into a standard arm-wrestling competition. No, the LCAW is something much more interesting than that, as its competitors produce a WWE-style piece of absurd theater that’s unpredictable and engaging. —Scott Recker

Yoko Molotov’s ‘Scratch Fights’ ?Book Release Party Lydia House $5  |  8 p.m. “Scratch Fights” is the third book of black and white illustrations by multimedia artist Yoko Molotov. Her transgressive work features gender-fluid cartoons and sharp, provocative illustrations. “Scratch Fights” includes over 100 illustrations and will be available at the release party for $10. Music performances by Vyva Melinkolya, WET, The Archaeas and Transgression will bring the fight to your ear holes. —J. Cobb
