About this event

Takes place in the basement showroom. Showtime is 6:30, but basement bar opens at 5:45 with full bar and menu. A different professional comedian headlines each week with one ofr two feature acts, followed by a stand -up open mic. The laughs are on us!

Steve Gillespie’s second comedy album “Alive on State” reached #1 on iTunes Comedy Charts and hit the top 10 on the Billboard charts. His 3rd comedy album “Liminal Bliss” was released earlier this year with Helium Comedy Records. It reached #2 on the iTunes Comedy Charts, so he is getting worse.

Gillespie has appeared on CONAN, Amazon Prime’s “Inside Joke”, and FOX’s “Laughs - All Stars”. Gillespie’s act a is a slaphappy balance of aggression and absurdity, coupled with a delightfully pushy persona that has earned him spots at some of the best festivals in country including the Bridgetown Comedy Festival, Boston Comedy Festival, 10k Laughs, and High Plains Comedy Festival in Denver, CO. He was named a finalist in CMT’s Next Big Comic, runner up for Best of the Midwest at Gilda’s Laughfest, and his debut album “Steve Fever” was named a top 10 comedy album of the year by ComedyReviews.com

Gillespie has also had the pleasure of sharing the stage with some of the best comics in the country, including opening appearances for Rory Scovel, Dave Attell, Jim Breuer, Tom Segura, Kyle Kinnane, Tom Green, Harland Williams, Shane Mauss, Doug Benson, Emo Phillips, and the late, great Gilbert Gottfried.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?

There is no cover charge. We'd love it if you apent a little to eat and or drink something, but you are not obligated. We are happy to accept donations and do a non-pushy ask for tips if you have any spare cash to help cover the costs of putting on a free show.

Is there a two item minimum?

While we do encourage you to order from the menu and from the bar, but it is not required and is truly a FREE show if you choose to not spend any money.

Is there an age restriction?

No. Anyone can attend, however many of our comedians do use naughty words and talk about topics some would (and probably should) find not suitable for your children.
