Summer DJ Boom Box

The Brooklyn Museum’s “Tom Sachs: Boombox Retrospective, 1999-2006” is closing this week, but not without one last dance party.

PERFORMANCE

“Mortified”

You couldn’t pay most people to revisit humiliating teen diary entries or watch old home movies. However, there are a few brave souls willing to get onstage and do just that – and we are definitely willing to pay to watch them. At “Mortified,” entertainers read aloud from the most embarrassing chapters of their lives, exposing their darkest moments, silliest crushes and floweriest poems. Thankfully Littlefield has alcohol – for both the performers and the audience. Aug. 11, 8 p.m., Littlefield, 622 DeGraw St., $10

COMEDY

Justin Willman

You might not know his name, but you’ve likely seen comedian Justin Willman hosting Food Network’s “Cupcake Wars” and “King of Cones.” And you might know his affinity for magic tricks, thanks to Comedy Central’s “Sleight of Mouth.” Catch him mixing mediums on his Fake Believe Tour, which pairs sleight of hand with sly wit, adding up to an adult evening of laughs (the two-drink minimum doesn’t hurt). Shows are 7:30, with extras Friday and Saturday at 10. Aug. 11-14, Carolines On Broadway, 1626 Broadway, $37.50
