MUSIC

Future

His voice is often blurred around the edges via Auto-Tune, but Future’s message is crystal clear: He has way, way more cooler stuff than you. Among said items: a $2 million jet, a Rolex watch that cost the same as a Corvette, a pair of $9,000 shoes. The Atlanta rapper chronicles said bounty on the very first tune of his latest chart-topping album, “I Never Liked You.” Find out in great detail how much better his life is than yours at 8 p.m. Feb. 9 at the Thomas & Center. Tickets start at $55; unlvtickets.com.

COMEDY

Nick Swardson

In comedy, you’ve got to be pretty smart to be successfully dumb. Yeah, Nick Swardson perpetually sounds like a blitzed surfer dude, but his often puerile, party-centric stand-up is sophisticated in its stupidity. See him at 10 p.m. Saturday at the Mirage Theatre. Tickets start at $29.99; ticketmaster.com.
