😂 Stand-Up @ The Garden – A Free Comedy Night on the Peninsula!

Looking for something light, social, and fun on a Saturday night? Join us for Stand-Up @ The Garden, a free comedy show at Marvin Gardens — a popular neighborhood spot that makes a great backdrop for a casual night out.

Saturday, January 10, 2026 | 7:00–9:00 PM
Marvin Gardens | 1160 Old County Road, Belmont

Once a month, a rotating lineup of Bay Area comedians takes the stage here, and January’s show brings together performers from some of the Peninsula and South Bay’s local comedy scenes. Expect a mix of styles, fresh material, and plenty of laughs in a relaxed, intimate setting.

January’s lineup includes:
Donovan Robertson • Wally Hipolito • Nate Schwartz • Myles Brown • Xzavier Bronson with Abe Rabinowitz headlining. Hosted by Emon Dismore of Peninsula Comedy.

🍷 🍔 🍺 Marvin Gardens will be offering food and drink specials during the show, so you can grab a bite and sip something cozy while you laugh. Marvin Gardens on Yelp.

This is a no-host New Beginnings-style gathering (without sparkly green streamers!). Find your New Beginnings friends on the patio, say hello, and settle in together. If you’d like to coordinate with others who are planning to attend, feel free to add a comment below.

Please note:
• Tables are first come, first served — we do not have reserved seating
• The show is on the covered outdoor patio
• Heaters are provided, but it is still outdoors — dress warmly and bring layers.

No cover charge. Tips appreciated. No pressure. Just an easy, upbeat way to spend a Saturday evening — whether you come solo or bring a friend.

✨ Come laugh with us and enjoy a simple night out in good company.
