Shout out to for killing it as host of ’s weekly open mic at .corner. He’s started at the mic a little over a year ago and progressed quickly comedically and was always a great hang after the show. When a spot needed to be filled for a new host, it was clear he would be the right dude for the job, even though he never ran or hosted a show before. Thanks to his hard work, we are now now filling the room weekly, making the bar, comics and patrons very happy. Stu always brings positive energy to every show and fearlessly herds audience into the showroom with his big Viking horn. is pleased to announce that, in addition to being the weekly host, Stu will now be the sole producer of the show under the Top Hat brand. Congrats Stu, keep up the stellar work! Please follow for weekly show postings and updates.
