Give Blood and Have a Few Laughs on Us

A blood shortage is no laughing matter...that's why Roosters teamed with the Stanford Blood Center for a special offer for blood donors. Give at any of Stanford's three centers (Mountain View, Palo Alto Hillview or Palo Alto Campus) between now and September 17 and receive two free tickets to a comedy show at Rooster T. Feathers!

Some of the Roosters' chicks headed over to the Hillview Center on Thursday August 4 to kick off our first ever special promotion with the Blood Center. The below pic, taken post-donation, was featured on the Stanford Blood Center home page for a few days. From left to right, donors include manager/comedian Beth Schumann, manager/bartender Kim Lodwich and owner/booker/comedian Heather Barbieri. Those future blood donors are Heather's little ones, Marco and Riley.

(Beth's comment: Kim and Heather look fantastic. I look like I just gave blood.) Check out a few more pics over on Roosters' Flickr page. Click here to view.

When you make a qualifying donation, you will receive two complimentary tickets to a future Roosters' show, a $24 value, valid any Thursday or Sunday at 8pm between now and the end of 2011. You must be 21 or older to use the tickets, and the two-item minimum purchase per person applies.

To make an appointment for a donation, or to get more information, visit the Stanford Blood Center online at bloodcenter.stanford.edu or call them at 888-723-7831 to schedule an appointment. Be a hero and have a laugh....donate blood today. Thank you!

Got Groupon deal questions? Answers here!

We're excited to welcome new Groupon members to The Roost! Roosters was named 2010 and 2011 Best Comedy Club by the San Francisco Baylist, so you're at the right place! We've got some fantastic shows coming up over the next few months sure to tickle your gizzard.

Here's answers to some frequently asked questions:

• Roosters is in the fun business! We have a relaxed atmosphere and intimate showroom where you're never too far from the stage. Our dress code is casual but feel free to get dressed to the nines! Roosters is perfect for date night, birthday celebrations, bachelor/bachelorette parties or any other reason to get out of the coop. But no one really needs a reason to laugh, do they? They just need a laugh!


• We have hilarious pro shows Thursdays through Sundays with headliners seen on Leno, Letterman, Conan, Kimmel, Ferguson, Comedy Central, Last Comic Standing and more! Your Groupon is valid for any of those shows, unless it is a Special Event (see below). You can always find our calendar at www.RoosterTFeathers.com


• You must be 21 and over only, and we're strict about that. You'll need to have a valid government issued photo ID, like a drivers license, military ID, passport or CA ID if you are lucky enough to be young or look young!


• We have a two-item minimum purchase per person policy. That can be either food or drinks and it doesn't have to be alcohol. We have a full bar, a wide range of non-alcoholic beverages and a limited food menu (click here to view the menu). If you're looking to make an evening of it with a nice dinner before the show, there are plenty of nearby restaurants, including PF Changs, Chipotle, Pasta Pomodora and, now open across the street, Five Guys Burgers and Pizza My Heart, among others.


• Groupons are not valid for Special Events. Special Events are dates like New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day and specially-produced shows. Unlike other clubs, we don't make every weekend a Special Event just to keep you from using your Groupon! The next scheduled Special Event is New Year's Eve. Any Special Event would be listed on our Web site, in-house calendar, outgoing voice message, etc. so it should be pretty obvious. Please note that since Groupon vouchers are valid Thursday through Sunday only, they are not valid on Tuesday or Wednesday, and therefore cannot be used for our New Talent Competition or Open Mic Nights.


• We have unlimited free parking. Parking is available on the street in front of the club, on the side streets, in the Goodyear Service Center lot (after 6pm), and in the Allario shopping center lot just across Murphy street from us.


• To redeem your Groupon, just call us at 408.736.0921 to make a reservation and mention the Groupon. (We don't need the Groupon number when you make your reservation.) You can find information about our upcoming shows on the Calendar on our Web site, but you can't redeem your Groupon there. Print it out and bring it in with you to hand in at the door, or if you have it on your smart phone app we can take a look at it that way too.
  


• It is General Admission seating with a Groupon, so that just means that the earlier you arrive for the show the more seating options will be available. Also, you need to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the show start time or you could lose your spot if we're sold out.


• You can connect with us on Facebook and Youtube (some videos there featuring the comics that perform at Roosters) and follow us on Twitter (username @RoosterTF) to find out more about the club, our shows, special promotions, comedy news and other fun stuff!


• We're fun and relaxed, but if your idea of fun is to come to a comedy show and talk loudly with your friends, heckle the comedians or just plain scowl, this is not the comedy club for you!

Have other questions? Call us at 408.736.0921. You might have to leave a message, but we WILL call you back. Or you can send an email to info@roostertfeathers.com. Thanks, and we're looking forward to seeing you soon!

Hot August Nights! $5 Late Show Saturdays

The outside temperatures are looking pretty mild in the Bay Area as we kick off the month of August (Feels Like Aug-tober?), but the forecast is for hot comedy! Especially with $5 late show tickets on Saturday nights. That's right, Roosters will take a cool 72% off the regular price of tickets at every Saturday 10:30pm show in the month of August. That means you can see all four headliners this month for only $20! (Plus convenience fee when you purchase online, and as always there is a two-item minimum purchase during the show. $5 price is valid at the Saturday late show only. All other shows are at regular price.)
