Why so serious?! If you are like us, you have found it hard to find things to laugh about. Working to change the world is grueling and daunting work, but the pursuit of happiness is what we are fighting for! So we are making time to LAUGH! Busboys and Poets is pleased to introduce COMEDY NIGHT in TakomaÂ
Come out on September 18th and get your ribs tickled, massage your funny bone, slap a knee or two. Because LAUGHTER is an act of resistance!
