Who's on this week

Headliners, cheap weeknight mics, and whatever's happening in a basement in Nordeast. We don't promote shows — we just keep track so you don't have to check twelve Facebook pages.

TC Comedy Fest (year four)

Beer garden stage, main room, and a tent for experimental stuff that might not work. Weekend pass is $65 until July 1, then it jumps. Last year the late-night set ran until 1:30 and someone brought a trombone.
