"Birds, Breakups, and Biblical Beginnings"

Yarnmaze opened with a Bible reading and a deeply personal confession about her bird's love life that nobody asked for but everybody needed. Lauren Hooberman walked the audience through every possible insecurity before they could get to it first. Brian Miklas brought a beer on stage and lost control of his set immediately. The crowd hijacked him into territory no recap should follow. Eliza Odegard went heavy early, earned every laugh, and closed on a space history quiz that somehow got a full-name answer from the back row. Her rescue cat stories hit different after everything else she shared. Katie Mark came back from a breakup two hours old and channeled it into crowd work about dads and serial killers. Tamir Bryant closed with the lights off and the volume up. Took sports betting and immigration policy and turned them sideways. The room didn't know whether to gasp or clap so they did both.
