Rex Navarrete
Navarrete gathers all of his material from what he calls “real Rex moments,” reality and shared life experiences. “I think everything has humor; you will always find humor. I don’t always make stuff up. Even though most of my material is geared for a Filipino audience, if you’re smart enough you’ll understand the universality of it. Look at the comedy traditions of Jewish and African American comics, which are now the mainstream through Seinfeld, Bruce, Allen, Rock, Pryor and Murphy.
The American Comedy Company, 818B Sixth Ave. in San Diego, 7:30 p.m., tickets $18, 619-795-3858, americancomedyco.com

Earth Day on the Bay
This event will take place at and around the Maritime Museum of San Diego. Opportunities to go on a bay cruise or sailing adventure with a naturalist aboard will be available for a nominal charge. The Maritime Museum believes that, at a time of particularly heightened concern regarding the effect of human activity on the earth’s environment, it will be important to make this event as accessible as possible. For that reason, there will be no charge to attend Earth Day on the Bay, and the Museum will be open to all who wish to attend without charge.
Maritime Museum of San Diego, 1492 N. Harbor Drive in San Diego, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., free admission to the museum, 619-234-9153 Ext 101, sdmaritime.org

Deanne Sabeck: Luminous
This intimate exhibition of glass and light is a visual feast of color, form, and altering perceptions. Reality transforms into illusion with the changing definitions of surfaces and reflections, defined and created through the play between light and shadow. Each viewer is encouraged to interact with and experience the exhibition from the context of his or her own point of view – both physically and intellectually.
Oceanside Museum of Art, 704 Pier View Way in Oceanside, 10 a.m.–4 p.m., general admission $8, 760-435-3720, oma-online.org
