Hot Ticket

Gabriel Iglesias

The word: Comedian Gabriel Iglesias is best known for his self-deprecating humor, often related to his weight. In recent years, Iglesias has become known for his acting and voice work, including roles in "Planes," "The Nut Job" and the upcoming "The Book of Life." Iglesias has been seen on Comedy Central as the host of "Stand-Up Revolution" and in his three original stand-up specials. His style is soft-edged and light-hearted but very personal.

Details: 8 p.m. Oct. 17, Patriot Center, 4500 Patriot Circle, Fairfax, Va. Tickets are $40 to 60 and will be available Tuesday at http://www.ticketmaster.com.

Big Premiere

"2001: A Space Odyssey"

The word: Even those who have seen Stanley Kubrick's science fiction epic a dozen times haven't truly seen the film until viewing it on the big screen. What seems slow and ponderous on a small television becomes epic and engrossing in a large theater. With this, the Senator Theatre in Baltimore continues its revival series of screening classic films. The 20-minute dialogue-free Star Gate sequence seems a lot less indulgent, and a lot more engrossing, when projected high on a 25-foot screen.

Details: "2001: A Space Odyssey" will play 7 p.m. Tuesday at The Senator Theatre, 5904 York Road, Baltimore. For tickets, visit http://www.thesenatortheatre.com or call 410-323-4424.

Michelle Williams

"Journey to Freedom"

The Word: Former Destiny's Child, Michelle Williams returns to her gospel roots with the album "Journey to Freedom." Williams has made a name for herself outside of the group, with appearances on Broadway and television.

Details: The album will be available Tuesday for $9.49 on Amazon and $9.99 on iTunes.
