I tip my hat to Vino Piazza for supporting and promoting stand-up comedy in this little area, including "Men who kick comedy butt."
I tip a single finger to them for charging 25 bucks a head for admission to these events, plus a $5 deposit for a wine glass. Wine glass deposit?? Just serve the goddamn drinks! Every other venue manages to deal with flatware logistics without having to take such extraordinary measures! What's next, frisking patrons on the way out for forks and ketchup bottles?
They would have had two more attendees for their Saturday show except for these brazen prices. Pepperbellys in Fairfield is a dedicated comedy venue, is closer to the astronomically-priced Bay Area, and they charge less for nights featuring genuinely nationally-known comedians. Shit, they had Orny Adams for $15 a show, and Dana Fucking Carvey for $20!
With my birthday coming up, I would love to find a good comedy gig to splurge on, but this just isn't it. This area needs more comedy options, bringing quality up, and prices down.
