Doug Clark’s Hot Nuts at Alley Katz

These guys insist on playing big holidays. In case you missed them over Thanksgiving, frat house favorites Doug Clark’s Hot Nuts sing in the holiday season with some sass and, if you’re lucky, a little raunch. They play Alley Katz on Dec. 25, 9 p.m.-2 a.m., and promise to be as entertaining as anything Hollywood will be offering that night. Tickets are $8. www.alleykatzrva.com.
