Black Hearts Friday w/ Kaseem Bentley
No date for Valentine’s Day? No worries, we got you covered. Some of the best comedians from the Bay Area are coming up to make sure you laugh and have a good time. You’ll probably still laugh and have a good time if you do have a date, I was just sayin…
It’s a spectacular line-up. Kaseem Bentley is coming up to headline, he’s bringing Scott Simpson and Dhaya Lakshminarayanan with him, and we’re throwing local favorite Joe Deschaine in for good measure. Hosted by Tony Persico, this is a show that will be remembered for generations. It’s basically a spectaular event the likes of which has never been seen, and that fleeting moment will come and go so quickly. Will you be lucky enough to be able to say you were there?
Also, come out a little early (like 8) and check out some informal pre-show comedy conversation type stuff for free!
