Unless, of course, you have the chance for those friends to roast the shit out of you all night, which is apparently where Tiny’s mind is set. Gathering the gang for a bit of a midweek milestone celebration on Thursday (October 2) at The Comedy Studio, the longtime local comedy staple is ringing in his 50th birthday with an all-star blend of friends including […]

We’ll be hyping club shows, theater and arena gigs, open mics, and whatever else to help fill your free time with some much-needed laughter. While Steve Hofstetter is fully equipped to remind us why heckling at a comedy show is never a good idea, he’s also wielding a skillset that makes it […]
