Learn how to enter the world of stand up comedy, and how to write, rehearse and perform in front of a live audience. Come on out for this free night and see what all the fun is about! If you like it, sign up for one of our 5 week beginning standup comedy classes.

The goal of this group is to form a small (ideally 6-8) gathering of writer's that can come together to review work, exchange ideas and generally help everyone involved become better and perhaps even (and dare I say it) published writers.

We are WRITERS who believe in the ART and the CRAFT of poetry.  We acknowledge  there is a time to be solitary and a time to bring our work to the light and to audience.  We are interested in reading and publishing and finding larger audiences as well.

By gathering we strive to create community and opportunities for performance and publication.
