Stand up comedy takes nerves of steel.   Stand up comedians need an audience to test out new material.   This the show where some pretty well known comedians try new things and hone their craft. (sometimes the audience howls with laughter and sometimes jaws drop).    If you enjoy stand up comedy this is the place to be.   One well known comedian, Dave Thomason, is a stand-up comedian and writer based in San Francisco.  He will be there.
