• Santander Arena, Reading, presents Pierce the Veil with LS Dunes, Dayseeker and Destroy Boys on Saturday at 6:30 p.m. Combining elements of post-hardcore, emo-punk, and progressive rock, Pierce the Veil burst onto the scene in the late 2000s and achieved mainstream success in 2012 with the release of their gold-selling third studio album, “Collide With the Sky,” which included the hit “King for a Day.” The band topped the U.S. alternative rock charts again in 2016 with “Misadventures” before an extended hiatus. Seven years later, they returned, calmer and more reflective, with their mature fifth album, “The Jaws of Life.” For tickets and more information, see santander-arena.com.

• SoulJoel’s Comedy Club at Sunnybrook, Pottstown, presents Jimmy Shubert on Friday at 8 p.m. and Eleanor Kerrigan on Saturday at 7 p.m. Shubert was a finalist on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” and appeared on Comedy Central as the closing act on Dave Atell’s Comedy Underground. Kerrigan cut her teeth at the World Famous Comedy Store. Starting out as a waitress there, she learned the ropes of comedy while making the best comics in the country laugh, in the kitchen of the club. It would take several years and lots of pushing from one of her biggest fans, Andrew Dice Clay, to finally get her to take her comedic talents to the stage. Her hilarious take on life comes from her unique experiences growing up street-savvy in South Philly, as one of 10 children in a very Irish-Catholic family.
