WHY IT'S A PICK: 
A comedy drinking show?  See you there.  Bottoms Up!

ABOUT THE SHOW - FROM THE PRODUCER
Here’s the Thing… is a stand-up comedy show with a side of alcohol. We want to stop comics from saying those overused phrases in stand up by reprimanding them on the spot. Your hosts Sandy Chansamone and Luis Leon compile a new list of phrases and words that are forbidden on stage such as “like”, “just me?”, and “here’s the thing…”. Any time a comic says one of the listed words, we honk a horn, the comic has to stop mid-joke and take a shot of beer. Audience participation is encouraged!!
