Second and fourth Tuesdays @ CAPs Pizza
Want to see working comedians from all over the valley, Sacramento, and the Bay Area? ‘Comedy Night’ is twice monthly at CAPs Pizza in Stockton. This comedy mic is fast becoming a destination for working comedians from the surrounding areas to try new material and hone their skills as well as some new faces looking to make their debut.
I personally started this show Dec. 14, 2021, and I am proud to see how much it has grown in under a year. The owners of this business care about comedy and enjoy having live performances hosted at their venue.
There is no cover charge, over 20 cold beers on tap, and great, fresh pizza to enjoy.
Get there early to grab a good seat and tell your friends! CAPs is located on 7628 Pacific Ave., next to Zen Garden Wellness.
For more information contact CAPs via phone (209)594-0749. Ryan Holloway will be hosting this show for the rest of the 2022 and can be contacted via Instagram. @RyanHumor
