NICOLE KIDMAN IS FUCKING GORGEOUS What, really, do you need to know about NKIFG besides the fact the performance group’s name is on point and it’s a collaboration creation between local art luminaries Mica Sigourney, Maryam Rostami, and John Foster Cartwright. They call themselves a band that plays its own bodies as instrument. And Kidman is in fact really cute, y’know? 8pm, $20. Performances run through Dec. 15. CounterPULSE, 1310 Mission, SF. www.counterpulse.org

DRAG QUEENS ON ICE Donna Sachet and Sister Roma preside over this bespangled yearly gaggle of drag queens gliding hammily across the ice. A San Francisco holiday classic, don’t miss.
