#3. It's your chance to finally prove that those expensive dance lessons you took as a kid weren't a complete waste of money. #2. You can finally put those endless hours of watching dance competition shows to good use. #1 It's the one day of the year when your uncoordinated flailing can be passed off as "interpretive dance."

Wed, Sept 18th "PUNCHLINES ON THE PATIO" Another night of laughs in Moraga. Tickets $15. Tickets available at the door or on Venmo. A Pat Pending Productions show.
