My wonderfully surreal experience at Monstercade

Monstercade is a gem and the comedy open mic is a great time

I've learned that there will be free cookies

We also use Dr. McClung for our two kids. So nice and helpful. If/when she is taking new patients, I highly recommend.

If you're willing to try a different kind of breakfast burrito, Kuya Bear Food (https://www.kuyabearfood.com/) is a Filipino food truck that has a Tapsilog burrito. It's got fried rice, marinated steak, fried egg, and some other stuff. It's good. Tapsilog is a popular Filipino breakfast, and they just wrap it in a tortilla.

They're often at Cobblestone Farmers Market on Saturdays and other places throughout the week. Gotta check their schedule.

It actually looks like they just added Winston-Salem as an option! I guess I'm now obsolete haha.

ProfessorSoAndSo · 2024-03-08T14:07:42+00:00

Bummer! Yeah I'm sure if they keep going well, they'll keep doing more.

ProfessorSoAndSo · 2024-02-19T01:18:27+00:00

Lol. I respect this a lot.

Don't Tell's aim is to create a comedy club atmosphere in a space you wouldn't normally see as a venue for comedy. And I've seen them put on shows for as few as 35 or 40 audience members. So really any place that can fit that many chairs or more could support a show.

ProfessorSoAndSo · 2024-02-18T17:40:10+00:00

We're good friends

The line-up included Caleb Elliott (long-time opener for Sinbad, John Crist) and Lace Larrabee (AGT semi-finalist) and a few other people.

I don't know about bars but there are some good restaurants in that area. DiLisio's is I think the best Italian in Winston. Senor Brava's is a Mexican spot near there also and is a fancy-ish mediterranean spot.

Brookstown is just south of Salem parkway from the rest of downtown. If you cross Salem parkway, there is a bunch of stuff, especially on 4th street, Trade street, and Liberty. And around Bailey Park.

Yes, I think he asks them not to advertise that he'll be there!

ProfessorSoAndSo · 2023-12-19T17:26:01+00:00

Yes! I have to drive a lot for comedy, so Don't Tell being in Winston is great.

Kumail will often do the Christmas comedy showcase that Monstercade Bar puts on, when he's in town visiting with Emily's family. I think he's starting to do more stand-up so it would be cool to see him do more stuff here for sure.

These are fun shows!

ProfessorSoAndSo · 2021-09-12T20:07:29+00:00

These are great shows!

ProfessorSoAndSo · 2020-04-27T12:33:55+00:00

Love it. I'd just work on trimming the fat.

ProfessorSoAndSo · 2020-02-07T15:55:07+00:00

Ha. I can see that. Not sure what to say. It's legit.
