Opener Brandi Alexander brims with confidence and sass, whether it's observations on making ends meet with dating, the pervasiveness of urban farming, or checking your date’s Netflix history to see if they're a serial killer.

Our dynamic MC Lisa Green is a queer stand-up comedian from Ypsilanti, Michigan. Unique and offbeat, they combine the academia, mental illness, goth subculture, and queer joy of an internet-raised Millennial. Lisa's observational comedy shines with a touch of blue humor, occasional dark jokes, and clever wordplay. They have appeared throughout the Michigan comedy scene, including Jester's Court Comedy Festival, Fem Feedback, and Blind Pig Comedy Show, as well as creating their hometown comedy brand of Depot Town Comedy, hosting weekly open mics and booking shows in the Ypsilanti area. When Lisa isn't performing onstage, they're working hard as a grad student/teacher at Eastern Michigan University.

Beer and wine served. Special comedy night food menu.
