Halloween is knocking on our door and there are many eventful treats for kids and adults this weekend. Haunted based festivities are going on at Chukchansi Park, The Standard, Fresno Chaffee Zoo, The Pines Resort in Bass Lake, and other venues.
Prepare yourself for a terrifying story time session from comedian Christopher Titus or go see the rock band Chicano Batman before they go on hiatus.
Saturday’s Fresno State football matchup against San Jose State has more in store for The Red Wave than just the game.
Check out our expanded list of events at this link.

Christopher Titus
Master of macabre comedy Christopher Titus will either have the Tower Theatre laughing or crying on Saturday. He makes a living riffing on subjects like family, divorce and mental illness. He doesn’t just deliver punchlines, either; his format is storytelling that’ll either crack you up or question his sanity.
Titus has toured through Fresno consistently throughout the years and has established a comedy home in the Central Valley. He’s entertained his fans who dig his dark material with 10 comedy specials. They’ve been broadcast on Comedy Central and Showtime and have topped the Billboard comedy album chart.
He took his depressing life story and starred in the sit-com “Titus” for Fox. It received an Emmy and Writers Guild Award nomination. Enjoy the show if you can handle it.
