Bar-turned-comedy-club brings the funny Tuesdays, Saturdays
Thursday, February 4, 2010
What typically comes to mind when you hear the term "meathead"? An overly muscular bro watching football on the couch and occasionally smashing beer cans on his forehead? What about joke-slinging comedians vying for laughs on the tiny stage of a neighborhood-bar-turned-comedy-club?
