    Free Beer or Wine
    For St. Baldrick's Head Shavees 

    Cancer sucks.  Children's cancer sucks even more.  Also taking place this weekend is the St. Baldrick's event where folks will be shaving their heads and raising money to fight children's cancer.

    If you're one of the brave men or women that shave your head this Saturday at St. Brendan's... stop by the Marathon and we'll buy you a free beer or a glass of wine.
     
     
     
    Can't Make the Marathon?
    Watch the UStream Online! 

    Apparently this internet thing is kind of a big deal.  We're embracing technology and we'll be livestreaming the entire Marathon!  So, if you're out of the area, bedridden or simply can't make it - you can be with us via the magic of USTREAM.

    You'll be able to leave comments, and we'll even be asking for suggestions from our online viewers and incorporate those into the performance.

    Bookmark the ComedyCity USTREAM link to view us starting at 7:30pm Central time Friday, March 15 through 11:30pm on Saturday, March 16th.
