Doors: 7:30 Show: 8:00 Cost: $5 suggested donation. **OPEN MIC AFTER THE SHOW** The Benbow Room Bar – a pirate ship-themed boozer with a separate, muraled entrance – is one of the best nautical-themed bars this side of the Cascades. There are even Koi swimming in the floor. You’ll also find an extension of the Heartland Café serving the same great food, as well as a second bar and game room with ample space for private parties and live entertainment. Comedy night here will fit that atmosphere - cool, stylish and original. We will feature some of the most original voices in Pacific Northwest comedy visiting the Benbow Room to make you laugh.
