Circuses

-- The Boston Derby Dames present a fundraiser in the form of a three-ring circus. Expect, among other things, fancy cocktails from the LUPEC crew, women on skates, and a brass band that plays Journey. Milky Way Lounge, 403 Centre St., Jamaica Plain, 9 p.m. $10.

Awkward Awakenings

-- The Guerilla Queer Bar invasion returns to Tequila Rain where we imagine that more than one frat boy will discover a long-repressed attraction to man-on-man body shots. Tequilla Rain, 145 Ipswich St., 9 p.m. No admission.

Experimental Film

-- Ken Jacobs, a father of American experimental cinema, has been making movies for fifty years, a career that stretches all the way back to the Beats. Catch five of his works on film and video tonight that covers his entire career. How can you miss a show that includes a short called "Krypton is Doomed." Flo Jacobs, Ken's wife and longtime collaborator, joins Jacobs to introduce the work. Harvard Film Archive, Carpenter Center, 24 Quincy St., 7 p.m. $10.
