The Queen Bean Coffee House

🚨EVENT UPDATE

Unfortunately, due to illness, our scheduled Valley Hot Seat guest, Sasha Devaroe, is no longer able to join us this Tuesday. We know many of you were looking forward to the conversation, and we’re disappointed too. We wish Sasha a speedy recovery and hope to welcome them back to the Queen Bean soon.

Rather than cancel the evening, we’ve decided to do what comedians do best—we pivot.

Introducing The Valley Hot Seat: Iron Tongue Challenge.

The night begins with our Hot Nuggies Open Mic, where every comedian who signs up will kick off their set by eating a Dino Nugget dipped in a mystery hot sauce before grabbing the microphone. The challenge isn’t just telling jokes. It's staying funny while your mouth is on fire. 🔥

After the open mic, our featured comedians return to the Valley Hot Seat for a live panel where the hot sauces get hotter, the questions get tougher, and the audience decides who earns the title of Iron Tongue Champion.

If you’ve ever wondered whether comedians can still be funny while suffering through ridiculous amounts of hot sauce, Tuesday night is your chance to find out.

Admission is free, and if you’ve ever wanted to try stand-up, we’d love to see you sign up for the Hot Nuggies Open Mic.

We hope you’ll join us for the debut of what we think could become a hot and hilarious new tradition at Queen Bean.🌶️🎤
