While current events here in SF centered largely on Teflon, it's time for some iron - Nato Green's Iron Comic at The Make Out Room (3225 22nd St. between Mission and Valencia). Iron Comic is a live gameshow where 5 comedians rush to write a routine in 10 minutes from topics suggested by the audience (have we got some topics for them, one of which is NSFW and involves Gavin impersonating Ricky Aicardi, Mrs. Tourk, her favorite designer handbag, and the words "deep" and "coming"). Battling in the Joke Arena: Brian Malow, as seen on the Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Drennon Davis, of SF Sketchfest and the Peeper & Giney Show, Rusty Mahakian, and a couple more. While the Iron Comics are busy writing these fine featured comedians entertain the audience: Nato Green, Brent Weinbach, and Arthur Gaus, of the Big Fat Year-End Kiss Off and Comedy Day 2005.
