Cookies, Comedy & Nerds is a top notch comedy show highlighted by comics who in addition to having great material also have stage personas with a lot of flavor.
We celebrate this Flavor by bringing in some of my wives oven baked chocolate chip cookies and in honor of our super hilarious headliner and Star of Nerd Nation we are offering free Nerds candy
