Designated driver

Chelsea’s liquor license may be in contention, but you can still see prolific lyricist and maniacal motormouth Busdriver on Thursday as he takes to the stage to lay down some poignant and political rhymes. His nimble wordplay and blink-and-you-miss-it double entendres are laid down in such a rapid-fire style you wonder when this Los Angeles boy has a second to take a breath. His unique performance style and unusual linguistic detours make his a show like no other. 8 p.m.
