About this Event

Welcome to a TumenLaughs production: Hotpot of Jokes! Featuring some of the Bay Area’s funniest comedians, this hilarious night unfolds in the heart of San Francisco’s Chinatown at one of its premier nightlife spots—Lion’s Den!
We believe in quality over quantity which is why $15 may seem a lot for a comedy show that you have never heard of, the quality of comedians you will be seeing will be way worth your 1500 cents.
Here is a little about our performers:
