Apotheosis Comics & Lounge

It’s that magical time again – when a handful of comedians gather to question their life choices and pretend you're not scrolling on your phone during their set. Join us on December 7th at 8pm for a night of laughter (or at least audible exhaling through your nose).

We've got Alex Hayes, who swears he's funny; Harley Bushdieker, bringing laughs with a side of existential dread; Mollie Amburgey Day, who’s made peace with the fact that her life is your entertainment; and Eric Reussler, who once almost made his mom laugh.

Come for the jokes, stay because you’re already sitting down. See you there!
