the evolutionary origins of human laughter can be traced back to between 10 and 16m years ago. While laughter has been linked to higher pain tolerance and the signalling of social status, its principal function appears to be creating and deepening social bonds

Great crowd, great comics, great venue, great night, grateful

Ben Weber did a great job stepping in as the Open Mic host this week! Also that huge crowd stayed for almost the whole open mic, and many were there since the showcase! See you all next week!

Btw- Congrats to Breanna Kalhorn for telling the best news jokes for our online content. She'll get to go 5th next Wednesday! We aren't sure if every week will be late night/weekend update style, but we at least want to try it one more time this upcoming Wednesday!

We're giving away two tickets to Dave Chappelle at The Backline this Wednesday night at our Open Mic!

The only way to get them is to sign up, get up on stage, and tell a joke! At the end of the night, we'll draw two names from the hat! We also have special guest Brent Bradley hosting this week, see you then! (and see the standup showcase at 7pm for FREE!)

**We anticipate a big turnout, so if a huge number sign up, later signups will do less time.
