TUESDAY

PENN & TELLER

AH, WHO CAN FORGET the magic moments created by Penn & Teller? Like the time they unleashed thousands of cockroaches virtually in the lap of a horrified talk show host. They are also known for playing with knives, fire and other potentially dangerous things, and being extremely, bizarrely funny in the process. They bring it all to Willett Hall in Portsmouth on Tuesday. Show time: 8 p.m. Tickets: $15-$25, available at Ticketmaster locations or the box office. 671-8100 to order tickets. 393-5144 for info.

MONDAY

SAMMY KERSHAW

HIS VOICE SOUNDS like George Jones, but his lyrics are straight outta the local bar & grill. A song can't get much more down-home than Sammy Kershaw's big hit, ``Queen of My Double-Wide Trailer.'' The current King of Bubba brings his rollicking show to the Cavalier Hotel Beach Club, 42nd and Atlantic Avenue, Virginia Beach on Monday. The show's at 7:30 p.m. Tickets: $17.50 in advance, available at Ticketmaster outlets. 425-8555.
