“My backpack's got jets/ Well I'm Boba the Fett/ Well I bounty hunt for Jabba Hutt/ To finance my 'Vette.” Those lines should appeal to both hip hop fans and geeks. And that’s exactly what MC Chris is. A nerdy hip hop fan who’s not afraid to sing about Star Wars. With Whole Wheat Bread, I am the Dream and A’s Rage. The Blender Theatre at Gramercy, 127 E. 23rd St. (betw. Lexington & Park Aves.), 8, $13 / $15
WFMU’s 7 Second Delay broadcasts live with Moby, Simon Rich (SNL) and Mike Weiss. Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, 307 W. 26th St. (betw. 8th & 9th Aves.), 6, $5
