And it's a chance to see the young talent who will be growing from here on out!
I'm looking forward to it, but I also feel I have to do my best.
You can see comedians here that you can't see anywhere else!
You can get a head start on those who will become famous, and also see those who might not make it big! That's what makes it fun!
Plus, it's free!! Please come!"
