Iron Lung (2026) @ Buskirk-Chumley Theater, 114 E. Kirkwood Ave, Bloomington
Feb 7 @ 7:00 pm
James Adomian (shows at 7pm & 9:15pm) @ The Comedy Attic, upstairs at 123 South Walnut, Bloomington, the corner of Walnut and 4th Street
Feb 7 @ 7:00 pm

James Adomian is a comedian from California, but his impact can truly be considered global or even cosmic. As a voiceover artist he has appeared on a hundred cartoons and a thousand podcasts. As an on-camera (i.e. “real”) actor, he has enjoyed some amusing failures and tolerated a few partial successes across television, cinema, and the world wide web. James is one of those performers who plays “deep characters” so people often do not connect that he was “that guy” who they loved so much from some particular thing.

On the stage he is a living god, an incarnation of Dionysus, meaning he is often drunk and largely available for bookings. He has been to Armenia twice but still can’t seem to convince anyone that he is Armenian. James is a proud Aquarius, and he is very, very Aquarian to the point where you would think he’s doing a bit when you meet him.

Feb 8 @ 2:30 pm

Composed for the first day of Christmas during his employment at the court of Weimar, this resplendent work is one of Bach’s earliest cantatas to make use of recitatives and arias, a new kind of text that replaced an older form restricted mainly to chorales. With festive instrumentation including four trumpets, drums, three oboes, and bassoon, along with doubled voices, “Christen, ätzet diesen Tag” is one of the composer’s most exciting–and one might even say splashiest–pieces. Join BBCP Director Daniel R. Melamed as he music directs and offers the lecture between performances.

Knit Night @ Gather : handmade shoppe & Co, 116 N Walnut, Bloomington
Feb 13 @ 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Cozy up, pick up a needle, and let’s make something. Knit Night happens every second Friday and it’s all about stitches, snacks, and laughs. Beginners, pros, or people who just want to watch yarn do its thing . All welcome. Bring your project, start a new one, or just sit at the table and soak in the cozy vibes. Tips, tricks, and yarn jokes included.
Every week we’re offering a new craft night, so boredom is not invited. This is your ticket to slow down, make something with your hands, and maybe accidentally meet your new craft buddy. Quiet concentration optional. Giggles and “oops I dropped a stitch” moments encouraged. You might leave with a scarf, a tiny triumph, or just the satisfaction of having made something with your own two hands and shared it with a table full of humans who get it.
Winter is long. Knit Night is shorter than the nights feel. Come warm your hands, your brain, and your soul.
