February 23rd, 2013: Practice Run, A Comedy Night - 8pm

It'll be here before you know it - RSVP for you spot on the Facebook event page or through the contact page here!

Stand-up comedy night with Hyein Lee.
About internet dating, Korean families, urban isolation... things that happen to everyone, but too embarrassed to share. Hyein kind of has a thick skin. There's a rumour that illustrator Aaron Leighton may be singing a tune or two as well.

From Hyein:

"Hello friends,
I never told you, but to my shame, I always wanted to be a comedian. I buried that shit under the rug. My friend and life mentor, Aaron Leighton finds me funny, and told me I should try stand-up. Divorced from reality, I jumped at the chance. This is my only second stand-up ever (the first one back in 2006), so make a careful discretion. And please, be kind and don't throw stuff at me."
