Verbal Insults is the hip-hop show you’ve been waiting for, a “prewritten rap battle” that pits some of the wittiest local wordsmiths against one another in a no-holds-barred struggle for props and daps. It’s at Portland House of Music (25 Temple St., Portland) at 10 p.m. Tix: $6 (21+). 805-0134. portlandhouseofmusic.com.
