Twin Cities weekend: Onstage first dates, Girl Scout cookie beer, Disney trivia
How it works: If you opt in to the dating pool, the self-proclaimed comedy dating show/social experiment could randomly select you to meet a fellow attendee on stage as a panel of comedians riff on your date.
The comedians will do a set before the dates begin, and after the show, there's a casual singles mixer for "offstage connections."
Friday, March 28 from 7-10pm at Forgotten Star Brewing Co. in Fridley. $31.95
Plus: If you want to be on stage but aren't single, Sociable Cider Werks is hosting Pitch-A-Friend on Friday, where participants prepare a 3- to 5-minute slideshow about how great their friend is and why the audience should date them. A singles mixer follows.
Advance sign-ups required for presenters. Free to attend, $5 to pitch

Liam Neeson's net worth as ‘The Naked Gun' hits theaters
Liam Neeson's acting career spans more than four decades, and now in his 70s, he remains a highly in-demand Hollywood mainstay. Early in his career, he tackled dramatic roles in theater, film, and television, and by his late 50s, he became a bona fide action star in the same league of A-list actors as Jason Statham and Denzel Washington - taking down bad guys in big-budget films. Neeson is expanding his repertoire to comedy with the revival of the Naked Gun franchise as the son of Detective Frank Drebin - portrayed in previous films by the late actor Leslie Nielsen, who nailed the role with his trademark deadpan delivery. The Naked Gun opened on August 2, 2025. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter With about 100 film credits to his name, Neeson has compiled a prolific resume, and he continues to make bank on the big screen. Here's how much Neeson is worth in 2025 and how he makes his sources estimate Neeson's net worth at between $120 million and $150 million. Finance Monthly, a website that tracks personal finance, put Neeson's net worth at $150 million.

After Taken, for which he was paid $5 million, he reportedly earned $15 million for the first sequel and $20 million for the third. Forbes ranked Neeson 22nd among the world's highest-paid actors in 2015, earning $19.5 million. As an action star now transitioning into comedy, he continues to command top dollar. Neeson also has used his A-List status for endorsements, such as starring in a 2016 commercial for LG's television sets. There's no publicly available information on Neeson's salary for The Naked Gun. With a reported budget of $42 million, Neeson likely earned a paycheck smaller than that of some of his other recent films, but it's possible that his contract allows him to take a percentage of the film's profits on top of his base salary. Liam Neeson was born in Ballymena, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, on June 7, 1952. He worked several jobs, including as a truck driver and an amateur boxer, and he initially planned on a career as a teacher, according to his biography compiled by the British Independent Film Awards (BIFA).

His big break into the movie industry came when film director John Boorman noticed him in the play Of Mice and Men and proceeded to cast Neeson to play Sir Gawain in the King Arthur film Excalibur, released in 1980. Neeson caught the attention of other filmmakers, who cast him in their movies, and throughout the 1980s, he continued to take on supporting roles. He also moved on to Hollywood, appearing in an episode of the iconic TV series Miami Vice and scoring parts in numerous films with industry legends such as Robert De Niro and Clint Eastwood. In 1993, Neeson shot to international stardom by playing German industrialist Oskar Schindler in the titular role of the Steven Spielberg-directed Holocaust film Schindler's List. That led to an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor and furthered greater opportunities - particularly leading roles in big-budget films. In 1999, Neeson played a Jedi master in George Lucas's fourth Star Wars film, Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. In the early 2000s, he also took on supporting roles in big-budget films, including Gangs of New York (2002) and Batman Begins (2005).

The movie marked Neeson's return as a leading man and also ushered him in as an in-demand actor for action movies. Neeson also kept his eye on drama and was slated to play Abraham Lincoln in Steven Spielberg's film about the 15th president, but the role in Lincoln (2012) eventually went to Daniel Day-Lewis. In 2014, Neeson played an outlaw in the action comedy A Million Ways to Die in the West, directed by Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane. In the 2025 reboot of The Naked Gun franchise, Neeson plays Lieutenant Frank Drebin Jr., who leads the Police Squad as his father (played by Leslie Nielsen) did. The movie also stars Pamela Lee Anderson, who is rumored to be Neeson's real-life love interest. MacFarlane reunited with Neeson by serving as a producer on the owns property in the New York City area. In March 2025, he listed his 4,524-square-foot apartment with five bedrooms and five bathrooms for sale, according to Architectural Digest. He purchased the Upper West Side home in 1999 with his late wife, Natasha Richardson, for $4 million. The listed asking price for the property was $10.75 million. Neeson also owns a 6,000-square-foot country home on a 37-acre property in Millbrook, New York, which is about 90 miles north of New York City. Neeson also invests his fame and fortune in philanthropic pursuits. According to Booking Agent Info, which tracks celebrities' endorsements and philanthropy, he has supported the American Foundation for AIDS Research (amFAR) and more than a dozen other charities, focusing on causes such as AIDS and HIV prevention and treatment, children's rights, and emergency relief.
