COMEDY

‘Colin Jost & Friends’

Colin Jost is at his best on “Saturday Night Live” when he’s on the receiving end of insults. You can almost hear his frequent foil Sarah Sherman pointing out that all of the “Friends” in his “Colin Jost & Friends” show are co-workers and, at least when it comes to “Weekend Update,” his subordinates. But we won’t judge. See Jost along with castmates Punkie Johnson, Devon Walker and Andrew Dismukes at 9 p.m. Saturday in the Resorts World Theatre. Tickets start at $50; axs.com.

MUSIC

Sebastian Bach

No longer a youth, but still wild, former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach recently released his first solo album in a decade, “Child Within the Man,” his fifth overall. Currently on the road in support of said record, Bach mixes solo cuts with Skid Row hits and other metal and rock classics for a night of sing-along favorites that’ll probably have plenty of fans reaching for the throat lozenges come Sunday morning. See him at 9 p.m. Saturday at the First Street Stage at the Fremont Street Experience. Free; vegasexperience.com.

MUSIC

Riki Rachtman

For generations of heavy music fans, MTV’s three-hour “Headbangers Ball” was must-viewing on Saturday nights. The show had many hosts, but the longest running and best known was undoubtedly Riki Rachtman, who also owned L.A. hair metal emporium the Cathouse. Rachtman shares tales of metal debauchery and more during his one-man show, “Riki Rachtman’s One Foot in the Gutter,” at 8 p.m. Monday at Backstage Bar & Billiards, 601 E.
