Wait, What? 

From the event description:

Maybe you've been to a million comedy shows, or maybe you've never been to one because your affinity for laughter and drinking games just never crossed paths. Either way, here's a good thing for you. Comedians perform their sets and every time they do something or say something on the list, you take a drink. Could be a phrase, could be a gesture, could be something that specific comedian always does!

When: Saturday, July 20, 9 p.m.
Where: 1648 Gentilly Blvd.
