Happy Hour Mario Kart – Super Trashed Bros. @ Dromedary Bar
May 18 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

One part nerd, one part slurred, Super Trashed Bros brings together comedy, video games and alcohol at a super rad bar in Brooklyn. Join comedians Jesse McGrath, Seamus Calder, Rachel Levinson as well as Brandon Garner as they virtually battle amongst themselves while physically battling inebriation. Audience participation is essential as a live crowd and online viewers—from the streaming platform Twitch—suggest new rules and new gags. Power-up, throw down and push buttons (in more ways than one)!

This show is a tournament. Drinking jaRules apply! And there are lots of prizes, including a bar tab for the first place competitor!
