Hidden in a corner of the Newport-Mesa Back Bay is Anchor Bar, this nautical-themed dive hosts comedians both aspiring and accomplished each Monday, offering an open mic and a chance to “show me what you got.” Hosted by local funny guy Evan “The Cass Man” Cassidy, it’s free to perform and attend. So grab a beer or three and go support live comedy in OC—the more you drink, the funnier they are!
