Eris Deep Space is built for small, strange formats, and this has more local texture than a generic comedy showcase.
Purgatory plus a video-game club night sounds like a real micro-scene gathering, not a standard bar event.
The team names alone give this UCB night a very particular improv-scene flavor.
Caveat is exactly the right setting for a premise this specific, part comedy night and part social experiment.

Independent animation in a bowling-alley back room has the right scrappy specificity for a Tuesday deep cut.
Karaoke crossed with storytelling is the sort of hybrid format that can only really work with a willing niche crowd.
A late Spectacle slot for something called Cyber Lady Suzuki is exactly the sort of cult-film oddity worth surfacing.

A Smalls jam this late lets the night slip into working-musician territory instead of polished headliner mode.
