From 8 p.m.-midnight on any given Monday, you might see an awkward first timer, a hilarious, experienced local, or a semi-famous nationally touring talent. Kyle Kinane, Eric Andre, Margaret Cho, and Ryan Singer have all gone up; Joe DeRosa recently recorded an album there. Be nice to those newbies, though.
