• Commedia dell Smartass is a Shakespearean romp through high school class hierarchy. Price of admission is up to you ($19 for the rest of the week), so if ever there was a time to be reminded of an era you mostly spent with your head shoved in a toilet, it's tonight. [flavorpill]
• Brit lit hottie Zadie Smith discusses her latest work, On Beauty, at Symphony Space; Freakonomics coauthor Stephen J. Dubner and Jonathan Miles read at Half King. Miles reads an "Ode to fights" essay he wrote for Men's Journal after punching an editor at a staff party — which we'd so pay good money to have seen. [TONY & Half King]
• Pick your favorite amateur video (not that kind, you filthy pervert) at UCB's "Channel 102" tonight, where you get to vote on your favorite 5-minute "TV pilot." The winning entry, unfortunately, doesn't take Joey's spot on NBC, but it does come back next week to square off against a whole new batch of submissions. [UCB]
