New room on U St.

Oh hey you. There's a new thursday room run by the Hossman.

Info:

The Islander

1201 U St. NW (next to Ben's Chili Bowl)

Sign up on premises, at 8:30, show starts at 9 pm. Thursdays.


I swung by last night for the first show. The crowd was part comics (Hossman's usual crew) and part Hossman's family and part random walk-ins. There's potential for this room to take off, sorta how JoJo's has. Tellin' ya, U St. is a great place to open up a room.

How did my set go? Well, are you an older black woman who enjoys to fake smile with a look of pity/wonder as a young comic sloppily strings together incoherent premises? If you are you would have felt right at home watching my set.

Other than my comedic fail, the room's cool, crowd's cool (enough of them were into it and attentive), check it out. Yay Hossman.
