Our guide to stand-up, improv and variety shows happening this weekend and in the week ahead.

BIANCA DEL RIO at Carnegie Hall (Oct. 6, 8 p.m.). This winner of the sixth season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” describes her drag persona as a cross between John Waters and Joan Rivers. Last year, Del Rio put out her first book, “Blame It on Bianca Del Rio,” and this year, she has been traveling the globe on her stand-up tour, “It’s Jester Joke.” Full of her tall tales and vicious wit, the tour makes its way to one of Midtown’s most celebrated concert halls on Sunday.
