- Wednesday, August 27th – Open Comedy Night
Windup Space, 12 W. North Ave. at 9:30 PM – $5 (with drink ticket) - Okay, I know comedy isn’t music so I may be cheating a bit here, but if you haven’t been to an open mic comedy night before you don’t know what your missing. The comics can be hilariously good or horribly bad all at once – it’s where newcomers go to learn how to be comics and were seasoned vets try new material.
