When you say "come before this object" and "come after this object", how is this represented in your data model? Do you have a field called show_order where you are capturing this information? In that case you could do something like
current_show = 5 #Presumably you get this in your request show_range = (current_show - 4, current_show + 4) shows = Show.objects.filter(show_order__range=show_range) FYI I haven't tested this and my Python is not good enough that I can guarantee my syntax.
