Alexia Nepola and Marysol Patton at the Miami Improv
Miami’s favorite Bravo besties are headed to the Improv, and no topic is off limits. Real Housewives of Miami stars Alexia Nepola and Marysol Patton will take the stage alongside social media sensation Miguel Luciano for a live Q&A with tea that only best friends of 20-plus years can spill. Between behind-the-scenes RHOM drama and the unfiltered chisme these two Cubanitas have been serving on their iHeartMedia podcast Ay Por Favor, expect a show that feels less like traditional stand-up and more like eavesdropping on the city’s funniest dinner party. Coming fresh off the news that Bravo has paused RHOM, this show is timely — and sure to be especially candid. 8 p.m. at the Miami Improv, 3450 NW 83rd Ave., Ste. 224, Doral; 305-441-8200. Tickets cost $46 via miamiimprov.com.

Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix Official Fan Fest
F1 is officially back in town, but you don’t need a pricey ticket to get the race weekend experience. The Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix is launching its first-ever Official Fan Fest this year, transforming Lummus Park into the ultimate off-track Race Week destination. The best part? It’s completely free. Running from April 29 through May 3, the five-day event features live race screenings on giant screens, DJs, guest appearances, racing simulators, pit stop challenges, and interactive activations from Red Bull, Ford Racing, Aston Martin, and Waymo, among others. Jack Daniel’s will sling cocktails from its Airstream bar, and Heineken will be on-site with new flavors for sober drinkers. Whether you’re an F1 die-hard or just “F1-curious,” an afternoon on Ocean Drive watching the qualifiers under the Miami sun is hard to resist. 2 p.m. at Lummus Park, 1130 Ocean Dr., Miami Beach. Admission is free with RSVP via f1miamigp.com.

Guns N’ Roses at Hard Rock Live
Rock legends Guns N’ Roses headline the official Miami Grand Prix kickoff concert at Hard Rock Live Thursday night, bringing enough noise to compete with even the loudest revving engines. GNR defined an entire generation with its debut album, Appetite for Destruction, alone. Since then, the band has endured lineup changes and a famously long gap between projects to wind up here, with rock greats Axl Rose, Slash, and Duff McKagan playing together on the band’s 2026 tour. Start practicing your “Patience” whistle. 7 p.m. at Hard Rock Live, 1 Seminole Wy., Hollywood; 954-797-5531; casino.hardrock.com. Tickets cost $190 to $596 via ticketmaster.com.
