Open-Mic Night @ Tacoma Comedy Club
Jan 2 @ 8:00 pm

Every Wednesday night at Tacoma Comedy Club we have Open-Mic Night! This is where dreams are made, and nightmares come true. This night has everything from professional comedians working out new material, to comics getting on stage for the very first time. The best part is, it is FREE! There is no cost to attend open-mic night, and it is happy hour all night. So if you want to get a laugh, feel better about your life, and have a couple drinks, then Tacoma Comedy Club is the place to be on Wednesday nights! (Must be 18 or older to attend).

If you are interested in performing, e-mail openmic@tacomacomedyclub.com between Thursday at noon, and Monday at noon, before the Wednesday you want to perform. If you are selected you will be notified by Tuesday at noon. If you are not selected just continue to try each week. The more weeks you e-mail, the more you will be selected to perform. If you plan on bringing a group of friends let us know, that will improve your chances. If you are not selected we still encourage you to come watch the show. If you arrive between 7 and 7:30 you can sign up for a drawing. We pick one comic the night of to perform. You will get three minutes when you first start, and can work your way up to four or five minute sets. Please e-mail if you have any questions.

Tacoma Runners Thursday Run @ Tacoma

The Thursday night beer run started in January, 2010, with just seven runners. It’s a social run that now exceeds one hundred runners nearly every week of the year. Thousands of people have joined this run from every corner of the region.

The Thursday night run is approximately three miles long. This distance is a night off for some; it’s aspirational for others.

Happy Hour Floats @ Uncharted Waters Float Center
Jan 4 @ 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Originally developed in the 1950s as a way to study consciousness and brain activity, floating has become a respected health practice. With benefits ranging from pain relief and stress reduction to improved focus and mental clarity, it’s no surprise that floating has attracted the interest of athletes, artists, meditators, and military personnel alike. Floating offers a healthy, drug-free way to feel and be your very best.

“The cure for anything is saltwater: sweat, tears, or the sea.” -Isak Dinesen

Join us for happy hour every Friday evening from 4:00 p.m. to close!
