Tiny gallery, very intimate, with wonderful, funny, touching, personal stories read by the authors. This was a great evening much enhanced by the talented DJ. My wife has told all her writing group friends.

Tinny little theater, full of people, no A/C... Out of 5 comedians, 2 were pretty good... others used a lot of profanity to compensate for their lack of... being funny. Free wine and drinks... so that part was cool, i guess. Cheaper than the Laugh Factory... so, i guess overall it was a "different" way to spend an evening... an alternative to the movie theater.

go early and stop by the Ice Pan at Santa Monica & LaBrea for the MOST fun dessert treat before the show. Only place like it in the city.
