FIVE THINGS to do on Christmas Eve

By Caitlin Donohue

Telegraph Avenue Holiday Fair Crafters set up booths on the street to pair with Telegraph’s year-round businesses in bringing you the very best in last-minute shopping. (Especially if tie-dye and beadwork get you in the spirit.) 11am-6pm, free. Telegraph Avenue between Dwight and Bancroft Ways, Berk. www.telegraphfair.com

Kung Pao Kosher Comedy A yearly SF tradition as treasured as complaining about the Blue Angels, Lisa Geduldig’s haven for those escaping holiday cheer is always stocked with her favorite yucksters. This year catch Samson Koletkar, Adrianne Tolsch, and Gary Gulman on stage while you eat your seven course meal (early show) or vegetarian dim sum (late show). 5:30 and 9pm. $44-64. New Asia Restaurant, 772 Pacific, SF. www.koshercomedy.com

Mittens & Mistletoe: A Winter Circus Cabaret Get high on this ringtop holiday show – circus performers ascend to acrobatic heights in honor of the season. 2 and 4pm, $15-60. Dance Mission Theater, 3316 24th www.dancemission.com

High Fantasy The holidays are all about being close to family, and your family may just be the high-art drag babes who have taken up the mantle of this longrunning weekly dance party and show at classic TL gay dive Aunt Charlie’s. If that’s the case, bring singles. 10pm-2am, $3. Aunt Charlie’s, 133 Turk, SF. www.auntcharlieslounge.com
