Every Monday and Thursday night some of  the country’s most talented young comedians are drawn to a small room above the Westwood Brewing Co. in Los Angeles.

Here, familiar faces from sitcoms such as MAD TV and Sex and The City perform their best material, free of charge. In a town where the drink minimum can max out your credit, it’s almost unheard of. To actor & comedian Adam Hunter, it makes perfect sense.

 For pros and amateurs alike, Adam’s room is also a welcome sanctuary, where artists can experiment with fresh material without the pressure of bombing before a paying crowd.

Don’t be fooled. An audience full of parents, hecklers and bored UCLA students is no cake-walk either. Still, Hunter says a tough crowd is the best litmus test for a working comedian.

“I like the fact that they don’t give it up unless it’s really funny,” he says.

Adam may not be earning tips at his shows, but he is earning priceless credibility and acceptance into a peculiar but exclusive fraternity. This notoriety, matched with an intense work ethic, has landed him bread-winning opportunities on Comedy Central and MTV. He was most recently seen on VH1’s Baggin’ crafting innovative insults like, “Yo mama swallows more men than the Tsunami!”

This type of raw unpredictability has made Adam’s room an unlikely hot-spot on L.A.’s underground comic circuit. For  performers, it may be one of the only venues in town where truly anything goes. For the rest of us, it’s free.

You can catch these comedian rising stars every monday night from 10pm-1am and every thursday night from 8pm 'til midnight.

For more in formation on how you can see Adam and friends live, call 646-479-1153 or E-mail comedyatbrewco@aol.com.
