The Pinball Outreach Program’s mission is to improve the lives of hospitalized children during the downtime of treatment by bringing the game, history and excitement of pinball to Children’s Hospitals. Comedy and Pinball for a Cause will be holding a benefit for POP. The show is free but we will be passing around “the hat” to donate to this project. Also, all money made from the pinball play will be donated to POP (which include some of the best pin

ball games in the Bay Area!). Please come and support this cause to help kids in the hospital have some pintastic fun!

Lead me into the kitchen and indicate a bag of tortillas next to a plate with little piles of minced onion, tomato, lettuce, and cheddar cheese.

You live in the Bay area, the veritable HEART of geekdom, nerdery and sheer freaking awesomeness.

Thus, it’s time that geek comedy came to the Bay area.

And come it shall…

On Thursday, August 9th, no less than FIVE (cinco) of the best geek-oriented comics in the Bay area will come together for one amazing night of stand up comedy. These five, their brains are packed with video games, manga, anime, science fiction, bad horror movies, technology, pop culture, the sheer horror of dating and anything else that happens to be bouncing around in their frontal lobes, will bring you 90 minutes of funny as if their lives depended on it.
