Venue: 1 Jiu Dao Wan Zhong Xiang Hutong

Price: RMB 100 (RMB 80 for members)

What do sausages and comedians have in common? Well, other than making you feel a little sick if they're not properly prepared, they're also both examples of things that will be grilled at The Hutong on Saturday August 16th. The comedians will be giving Beijing (and each other) a hard time as host Neil Fauerso presents hot sets from Riley Hageman, Paul Creasy, David Fertitta, and Drew Fralick. The cover charge gets you a ticket, two sausage samples, and a bottle of beer. Doors open at 6.30, so get there early to enjoy ample grilled sausage and beer time before the show starts at 8.
