It’s December 1st, and the annual movement to change the face of men’s health – Movember – is pretty much over. The Baltimore area truly rocked the ‘stache this year, nabbed itself a feature in the Baltimore Sun, TV interviews, and raised over $14,000 (and counting) for a great cause. But the month is over, and it is time to bid adieu to said ‘staches. And so, this Friday at Field House (2400 Boston St., … Read entire article »

March 24th, 2011 | Add a Comment

The Baltimore Comedy Factory has moved into its new home at Power Plant Live (6 Market Pl., Downtown) from the now shuttered Burke’s Restaurant upstairs, digs that logistically are a vast improvement in terms of access as opposed to walking through a restaurant into a cramped attic lobby.
