Headlining the show is Dean Oleson, Seattle-based comedian extraordinaire.

With all this funny-man experience, you can expect a night of giggles and snorts.

The AIDS Housing Association of Tacoma provides a place of refuge and shelter for people often in poor health on arrival. Since opening in 1990, this unique association has provided housing for over 100 individuals. Most of the people who use the facility return to living on their own after their health improves.

Grit City Comedy is located at 445 Tacoma Avenue South, inside Malarkey's Pool and Brew. The show starts at 9 p.m. Tickets are $15 and are available online through Brown Paper Tickets or from the venue. Call 253-961-4262 for more info.
