Bob Marley
6 and 8:15 p.m. Friday, 5:30 and 8 p.m. Saturday. The Elm, 21 College Ave., Waterville, $34.50. eventbrite.com
For a wacky night in Waterville, grab your tickets and head to The Elm for a side-splitting set from Maine’s king of comedy, Bob Marley. He kept us laughing throughout the pandemic with his video posts, and now that things are starting to open back up, here’s a chance to be cracked up in person. This is the guy who once made it into the Guinness World Record book for longest standup performance by performing for a staggering 40 hours. He’s got plenty of jokes!

Whether you appreciate the history of old homes or are just looking for an interesting excursion, set your sights on South Berwick for 45-minute guided tour of Hamilton House. It’s a stunning Georgian mansion built in 1785 that overlooks the Salmon Falls River. Originally home to the Wabanaki, the site was bought by merchant Jonathan Hamilton for his shipping business back in the 18th century and was farmed by the Goodwin family in the 19th century. While in South Berwick, you might also consider a visit to the Sarah Orne Jewett House Museum at 5 Portland St. Both spots require advance reservations.
