Free Political Comedy Night on Election-Eve | Harvey’s

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Harvey’s hosts the best gay and gay friendly stand up comedians in a comedy showcase every Tuesday at 9pm. For one week only, they are taking a break from Tuesday and throwing a Pre Election Fever show on Monday, November 1st.

The Pre Election Fever Show will showcase comedians doing a more politically slanted set. The comics will also be doing material based on local government, social issues and our encouraged to bring out material on local absurdities such as Muni. It won’t be 100 percent political- because that can get to heavy- but this week only the comics will focus on comedy about issues that our communities currently face and bring their own personal backgrounds and twists into them.

WHEN: Monday, November 1st
TIME: 9pm
WHERE: Harveys, 500 Castro St. San Francisco
COST: As every regular Tuesday show… it is free, 1 item minimum.
