MediaLive: Corruption

Jay and Roger Play Atari
The Deer Pile
8 p.m. Wednesday, free
These dudes have been making fun of video games and each other for a year now, and tonight will celebrate the start of their second season as local jokers like Mitch Jones, Taylor O'Neal, James Draper and many more go head to head on the O.G. Atari games. In addition to watching the Pong madness, you can enjoy free pizza, soda and other giveaways from local businesses. That's a meal and a show — just for showing up. 
Riot Fest Date Night presents Ratio Comedy with Sam Tallent
Ratio Beerworks
8 p.m. Wednesday, free
Riot Fest is one of the city's biggest parties of the summer, so find a date for the festival tonight...or just show up for the comedy. Either way, you can grab one of those tasty Ratio brews and laugh the night away with Sam Tallent, a guy who has warmed up crowds for Louis C.K. and Dave Chapelle. You just might walk away with some sweet Riot Fest gear, too.
