Calling All Comics! Head to Korner House For Open Mic and a Chance to Win Some Cash

Are you a regular on the stand-up circuit? Do your friends say you're hilarious? Maybe they're just humoring you --but you may as well find out.

Head out to Korner House Bar & Grill, Tuesday nights for open mic and an evening of laughs (whether you're providing them or not). 

Hosted by local comic Kristen Toomey, sign up to participate begins at 8 p.m., show starts at 8:30 p.m. All are welcome!

Every Tuesday a new winner is chosen to be a part of the finals (date to be determined) and he/she receives a $25 Korner House gift card. There are still a few weeks to participate before the finals. The winner will receive $200 in cash and the admiration of all those around him or her. Second place winners recieve $100. If you'd like to sign up you can RSVP on the Korner House event page on Facebook or just drop by.

Friends say you're about as funny as a terminal illness? No worries. Come on down anyway and watch! There's no cover, and the waitstaff is cute and friendly. Also, they're open until 4 a.m. so if you don't make it to the finals you can drink enough to forget you were even there in the first place.
