Every day, pigeons in San Francisco suffer from a hidden danger: string, fishing line, hair, and other debris that wrap tightly around their toes and feet, causing immense pain, infections, and sometimes the loss of entire limbs. During this event, we'll teach you how to safely spot, catch, and help these incredible birds before releasing them back to their families and flocks.

Cheaper Than Therapy, Stand-up Comedy, Shelton Theater, Union Square, SF

**Let’s spend an hour laughing together at a stand-up comedy show in San Francisco! 😂** The name already says it all — **[Cheaper Than Therapy!](https://cttcomedy.com)** The show takes place at the historic **Shelton Theater**, right in the heart of Union Square in San Francisco. It’s easy to get to, with plenty of parking options nearby. The lineup changes every time: usually **2–3 new comedians**, a couple of familiar faces, and the show always closes with its producer, **Scott Simpson — and he is always hilarious!** I suggest we meet **15 minutes before the show at the bar**, grab a drink, and get to know each other before it starts. 🎟️ It’s better to buy your ticket in advance, but you can usually get one at the door as well. I’m making this a **regular Meetup event**, although I won’t always be able to attend myself. When you arrive, just tell them you’re with the **Meetup group**, and they’ll seat you together. See you there — and let’s laugh! 😄 The show ends by 9:30pm. . Please check the FAQ [here](https://cttcomedy.com/) and to buy tickets go https://tickets.cttcomedy.com/events/?_gl=1\*16aiq5e\*_gcl_au\*MjAzMjE0NzI5NC4xNzg5MDczNDc2\*_ga\*MTE4MDMzOTY4NS4xNzg5MDczNDc2\*_ga_DDS6TRE8CK\*czE3OTA0NjUyNzEkbzMkZzAkdDE3OTA0NjUyNzEkajYwJGwwJGgw Hope see you there!

When you arrive you just tell the venue host the reservation name and you'll be directed to the event area where you'll get to meet the other fun singles who are also looking to meet new people\. \- You'll be playing fun and easy icebreaker games to get to know everyone\. \- After the event you'll be a able to login to our app where you'll be able to select the people you'd like to stay in touch with \(scroll down for more details about how that works\)\. \- We usually have between 12 and 20 people at each event\. The amount of people varies from event to event but you'll definitely get to meet a good amount of people without being overwhelmed by a huge crowd\. We keep the events fairly small and intimate so you really get to know everyone and make real connections\. \- Our host will walk you through the event via video on your phone \(so there's no awkward check in process or silly name tags\) \- The coolest part about the event is that no one else at the venue will even know you're at a singles event\. It will just look like a group of friends having fun around a table\! \- During the fun icebreaker games you can order cocktails \(or non\-alcoholic mocktails\) to get everyone talking and then move into the games \(feel free to order food/appetizers if you'd like to as well\.

In this game you and the other singles at the table will be asked fun questions like, "Name a gift that women love men to give them". You will try to come up with the most popular answer and then you'll find out if you got the top answer. Another popular game we sometimes play is Blank Slate where you have to try to guess the most popular fill in the blank answer to questions like, _________ TIME . You'd have to try to come up with the most popular answer... is it PARTY TIME? Is it NIGHT TIME? Or maybe it's SHOWTIME. **HERE'S THE REALLY COOL PART!** This event has led to countless relationships and new friendships formed because after the event you'll be able to stay in touch with the people you met at the event by reaching out and contacting them on our app. After the event is over we allow you to login to the app and **swipe on the people you'd like to stay in touch with!** It's similar to a dating app but you'll have actually met and mingled with the people in person before deciding if you want to match and stay in touch with them! After you get your ticket you'll be able to upload a photo of yourself on our webpage (only viewable by the other event attendees). After you sign up you will get an email from us with instructions on how to upload your photo to our app/webpage.
