Our regular installment of Question of the Night is going to be a bit different tonight because of the special show, Story Time with Vic Henley, that’s happening here at the World Famous Comic Strip Live at 8:00.

The Question:  What’s the funniest thing that’s ever happened to you on stage?

The Answers: Come to the club and listen as the rotating cast, often including Vic Henley, Ben Bailey, DC Benny, Jay Oakerson, and more tell their tales.

Other performers will include Jermaine Fowler and Marina Franklin!
