Walk to Goofs Comedy Club

If your ideal night out involves good food and a good laugh,

One of my favorite spots in East Cambridge is this restaurant called Gufo.

It was my friend's birthday and we were in celebration mode,

and I ordered the cacio e pepe arancini  

which is literally my favorite thing on the menu.

But corn might be one of the best pizza toppings.

Then after dinner we walked about 20 minutes

to go to Goof's Comedy Club in Somerville.

I didn't end up filming any of the performers because it was my

first comedy show and I wasn't quite sure if that was OK,

great time laughing with the local and touring comedians.
