GATHER our hearts


MARRIED YOUNG ADULTS

DATE NIGHT HOUSTON

Fri, Feb 10 @ 7-9p – Fellowship Ctr

Want clean comedy with an edge? Tim Hawkins brings the funny. Hawkins has been accused of being equally gifted and twisted. Whatever your take, he has indeed become one of the most in-demand comics in the country. His arsenal is unique: high energy stand-up, physical comedy, slick guitar skills, a thousand faces and voices, improvisational chops. This will be an insane comedy experience that will be sure to energize you and your spouse with laughter and fun. It will be a date night you will never forget!
