FAQs

  • It means you can set your own price, and we won't turn anyone away for lack of funds. While we segguest a price of $15 - $25 we've had people pay anything from $1 to $100 (looking forward to breaking that record!) Proceeds are used exclusively to pay comics and promote the show.

  • Like we said, what is important to us is to have you come and laugh with us. If you do not feel like you can afford a ticket right now and would like to secure one for $0, use coupon code “NOTAFLOF” - and if you find you have some extra cash on hand day of, you can tip the comedians on venmo or in the tip bucket. <3

  • Yes! If you show up without an eventbrite ticket we can accept payment in cash or via venmo, and there is an ATM at the door. That said, getting tickets in advance REALLY helpful and appreciated. Ultimately, we want you to do whatever allows you to show up, bring friends, and laugh with us! :-)

  • Our goal is to make a space for queer comedy by queer comedians, but every so often we'll book one of a variety of Token Straight Women ™️️ - turns out, being a woman in comedy is similar to being queer in comedy.

  • COVID continues to be a pain in everyone's ass - especially those in our community who remain vulnerable to the diseise. Masks and vaccinations with current boosters are heavilly encouraged. Masks will be provided at the door if you do not have some already

  • While the weather is cold, the show takes place on the SF Eagle indoor stage - but a live color video and audio feed is broadcast across the bar and onto the large outdoor patio. In future months when warmer wather can be counted on, we intend to move the show outside.
