Friday
First Friday’s Comedy Competition, 7:00 p.m.
Head to Busboys & Poets on Friday night to enjoy dinner while attending a comedy show!

Up to 10 comedians will be able to perform — if you’re interested in performing yourself, arrive by 6:45 p.m. to secure your place in the set! Performers must pay a $23.18 entrance fee, with profits going toward a cash prize for the winning comedian.
