Entertainment & Activities
A small Sunnyvale comedy club with a great stand-up comedian lineup. (Interestingly enough, it was also the location of the beta test of the very first video game console, Pong.) It’s about a mile away, and we enjoy walking to it from the house for an occasional date night. It’s a good idea to buy tickets online ahead of time, as seating is based on time of the ticket purchase. http://www.roostertfeathers.com/html/aboutus.html
