ShawnMikael[s] is ecstatic for next monthly show at Big Bear Cafe in Bloomingdale. Some changes, though: we're no longer performing on Tuesday evenings. Instead, we've moved to Sunday evenings to give you a few final weekend laughs before new week begins to have its way with you. And helping us kick off this series of Sunday evening shows is a stellar lineup of stand-ups and improv performers we know you'll enjoy. We've got Pete Bergen, a touring standup, one of the best in the DMV. We've got Standby Children, a troupe with origins in Washington Improv Theater's ecosystem that we promise lives up to its pedigree. And our host is Joe Gagliardi, a standup who's also a veteran of both the DC Improv and Bloomingdale's own (but now defunct...sigh) Unified Scene Theater who is, literally, a veteran: a Marine veteran of Iraq. In fact, Pete's an Army vet and Shawn's an Air Force vet. Will the three of them end up touring together as part of a comedy show called the Joint Chiefs of Staff? (probably not, but that would be cool, huh?)
