The Basement has a rare Monday night gig going down at 7:30 p.m., with comedian Steve Hofsteller, famous on YouTube for his crowd work, particularly with hecklers, on the bill. However, as of press time the show appears to be mostly sold-out, with the exception of a few front row, meet-and-greet tickets left going for $162.96 after fees, so you are forgiven if you stay home and have a gander on the web instead.
