FREE Happy Hour Stand-up Today

The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news

Watching someone do stand-up can either be really funny or uncomfortably awkward.  And in some cases it can be both.  While I don’t know anything about the 10 comics performing at tonight’s Monday Happy Hour Comedy I’d wager that you’re gonna get see both funny stuff and total crash and burn.  Luckily since the event is totally FREE, it will at least be worth your money.

Apparently they just locked down Reggie Steele for tonight.  He’s a comedian who has been on Martin Lawrence Presents: 1st Amendment Stand-Up and appears this month on both Trauma and the illustrious Americas Most Wanted.  Me thinks that performing in front of an audience is a pretty bold move for a guy who’s on the Most Wanted list.

This is a no-cover show with professionals working on new material & polishing up old material on an off night for upcoming paid gigs. The comics love the venue and the opportunity to work out new material to an attentive audience.  They also love it when you drop something in the tip jar.
