Virtual live entertainment events to check out this week (April 3-9): Dosh, Brave New Workshop, Joyann Parker

Note to readers: With venues across Minnesota closed by the coronavirus pandemic, artists and organizations have turned to the internet to connect with audiences. The Star Tribune will run this calendar each week. To submit items for consideration, e-mail events@startribune.com.

Daily: The promise of watching someone tinker around the basement wouldn't normally sound very inviting, but that's how the inventive drummer, keyboardist and electronics wiz Dosh crafted some of the Twin Cities' best instrumental albums of the past two decades and became a one-man touring band. He started up his "Southside Dispatch Radio" sessions last week and plans to keep them up every night, all very improvised and free-form, as is just about everything else these days. (7:30-ish p.m. daily; facebook.com/MartinDosh.) (Chris Riemenschneider)

Saturdays: The Brave New Workshop improv troupe is reimagining its live performance shtick over the internet every Saturday night. For this week's episode, "Cabin Fever," comedy favorite Lauren Anderson and BNW artistic director Caleb McEwen will get you laughing in an evening of comedy, storytelling and interviews, as the two longtime collaborators each perform from their own homes. If there's one thing that might help get us through a pandemic, it's a bit of laughter. (8 p.m. Sat.; bravenewworkshop.com/theatre/viral.) (Sheila Regan)

Sunday: Twin Cities blues and soul shouter Joyann Parker is livestreaming an hourlong Gospel Brunch at the very civilized hour of 1 p.m. Sunday. With Mark "The Resonator" Lamoine on guitar and harmonies, Parker will interpret spirituals, blues, country, R&B — you name it — with earthy enthusiasm and heavenly intent. Fix the eggs any way you want 'em. (1 p.m. Sun.; facebook.com/joyannparker.) (Jon Bream)
