2012 | Best Comedy Open Mic

Anyone craving a look inside the lives of comedians need not look further than Funny Mondays at Deco Lounge.

New audience members are welcomed by the performers, grateful to see new faces -- faces they'll be looking at up close, since the room is as intimate as they come. The open mic begins at 7 p.m....
