Jazz Café at Music Hall Center for the Performing Arts proudly announces the return of live comedy to downtown Detroit, beginning THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18 th, 9 PM- Midnight (Doors 8PM), with an open-mike extravaganza pitting area comedians against each other, with a chance to win a few bucks and return with their own set at a later date. Join a different host each month like Detroit Music/art icon and rabble-rouser, Ewolf, Former StunGun leader, Joell Leining and other local icons, who will emcee what hopefully will become a monthly event and a great way to spend a Thursday evening in the heart of Detroit’s Entertainment District.
This is an open call for everybody.
