The Overland Hotel and Saloon in Pioche will host a special stand-up comedy event on Friday, Aug 22. The evening is designed as both entertainment and an open call for talent. Regulars and first-time visitors will have a chance to share their best jokes on stage.
Sign-ups begin at 6:45 p.m., with a 7 p.m. show start. Contestants will compete for first-, second- and third-place prizes. During the evening, appetizers will be served.
The event is open to a variety of performers, whether someone has been working on a polished routine or simply has a story or two that friends keep telling them to share. Audience members are equally welcome, as even the best comedians need someone to laugh at their jokes. Organizers encourage anyone with a sense of humor to take part, reminding participants that the night is about laughter and community.
