This Weekend

• Daily Dose: John Oliver at The Wilbur
  
  The Daily Show's resident Brit ditches Jon Stewart and goes solo for one night only.

  Nearby: Good Life; Shojo; Kingston Station

• Brews and Bites: Brunch at John Harvard's
  
  After a recent renovation, it's only right John Harvard's Ale and Brew House introduces a vibrant new brunch menu.
  
  Food for thought: Try the thick cut French toast (layered with Nutella) or the classic eggs and house-smoked sausage.
  
  Sun 11a-3p. 33 Dunster St., Harvard Square (617-868-3585).
  
  Nearby: Le's; Daedalus; Grendel's Den

  Sat 6:30-10:30p. Center for the Arts at the Armory, 191 Highland Ave., Somerville (617-718-2191). $40 here.

  Double up: The band released two albums this year and a handful of low-budget videos.
