Nathan Macintosh has picked up national recognition from Variety and logged time in major comedy outlets before landing at Mic Drop Comedy in Plano on Wednesday night. He's the headliner in a week that also manages to pack Pink Floyd lasers, a flashlight egg hunt, competitive trivia, and outdoor Easter movies into a single Collin County calendar running from March 31 through the holiday weekend.

Trivia and game nights

The week opens Tuesday, March 31, at Rollertown Beerworks in Frisco, where Think & Drink Tuesday Trivia sets up upstairs in Lager Hall. Teams compete across multiple rounds with drink specials running alongside, making it one of the more reliable midweek social draws in the area. It's a low-stakes neighborhood night that fills out a weeknight calendar without requiring advance tickets or much planning.

On April 1, ŌMA at Legacy West in Plano shifts the game-night format entirely with a Mah Jong Night built around instruction as much as competition. An on-site instructor walks players through the game regardless of experience level, while drink specials and raffle prizes add extra incentive to show up. For adults looking for something more engaged than a casual bar outing but lighter than a ticketed production, it's a well-positioned midweek option in one of Plano's busier mixed-use corridors.

Comedy: Nathan Macintosh at Mic Drop

Macintosh brings his set to Mic Drop Comedy in Plano on Wednesday, April 2. Recognized by Variety and featured across national platforms, he represents the kind of working comic with a real national profile that Mic Drop has become increasingly known for drawing to Plano. It's a weeknight show that earns its ticket price for anyone who follows stand-up closely, and it continues to build the venue's case as a legitimate stop on the regional comedy circuit.

Easter weekend: egg hunts, lasers, and outdoor films

Wednesday evening also launches the Easter programming with the Flashlight Egg Hunt at Bethany Lakes Park in Allen, running the same night as the Mic Drop show across town. Families search for eggs in age-group waves after dark, with pre-hunt activities and food options on-site before the search begins. Attendees should bring a flashlight and basket; the age-group structure keeps younger kids from competing against older ones for the same eggs, which makes the evening more manageable than a free-for-all scramble.

Thursday, April 3, brings the heaviest concentration of events on the calendar. At the Lexus Box Garden at Legacy Hall in Plano, the Pink Floyd Laser Spectacular pairs classic Pink Floyd music with laser production, video projection, and large-format visuals into a fully ticketed immersive show. It stands apart from the weekend's family-oriented programming as the clearest adult-entertainment centerpiece of the Easter calendar, and the Legacy Hall venue gives it a production setting suited to that kind of spectacle.

That same evening, the Grandscape Stage & Lawn in The Colony hosts the Spring Fling Eggstravaganza, a larger-scale festival hosted by a local radio personality. The event combines a registered egg hunt with free activities and entertainment spread across the Grandscape grounds. Tickets are required for the egg hunt portion, but the surrounding programming and Grandscape's mix of dining and retail give families ample reason to stay well beyond the hunt itself.

Rounding out the holiday weekend, the PGA District in Frisco runs outdoor movie nights on both April 3 and April 4, screening Hop and Peter Rabbit. Blankets are the essential item to bring; nearby dining options cover food before or after the films. As a low-cost, flexible option over Easter weekend, the outdoor screenings require almost no advance coordination compared to the ticketed events nearby.

Popular shows like the Pink Floyd Laser Spectacular and the Spring Fling Eggstravaganza are known to sell out; anyone planning to attend should confirm availability and review age restrictions or rain-date policies before the week closes out.
