We pick out some of the city's best concerts, screenings and things to do, every day, just for you.

1. Watch a roast of Disney princesses

Comedians Ryan Pigg and Eddie Furth take history's biggest figures—from Cleopatra to JFK—down a notch during their live Historical Roast series. But they're turning toward fairy tales for this special "Fictional Roast: Disney Princesses," with nine comedians partaking in a round of hurling insults at the beloved animated royals. (NerdMelt Showroom, 7522 Sunset Blvd. 9pm; $8 in advance, $10 at the door.)

2. Envision a feminist AI

Are artificial intelligence systems biased if the scientists creating them are overwhelmingly men? Designer Christine Meinders and Machine Project are posing that question during Bits & Bytes, a workshop that combines plants, sound performances and a discussion about machine learning. (Machine Project, 1200 N Alvarado Ave. 8pm; free.)

3. Swing by one of UCB's best shows

Cameron Esposito mines both the stereotypes and realities of life as a lesbian in a tone best described as badass-adorable. Every Tuesday, Esposito and Rhea Butcher co-host the stand-up showcase "Put Your Hands Together" at UCB Franklin. Tonight's guests include Andrew Santino, Megan Gailey and, one of our favorite up-and-coming comedians, Amanda Seales. (UCB Franklin, 5919 Franklin Ave. 8pm; $7.)
