HENRY'S HAT "HALFTIME HILARITY" SERIES DURING ESPN'S "MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL"
By Staff Writer

Studio City's newest gastropub invites notable comics to lead halftime entertainment during the weekly sports show, followed by a postgame "highlights" menu
Henry's Hat Restaurant's "Halftime Hilarity" series is right on time for "Monday Night Football." Notable comics perform five- to six-minute sets during halftime of the evening's featured game. Following each Monday night game, the restaurant offers a postgame "highlights" menu featuring some of Executive Chef Nick Cobarruvius' signature items, as well as pitchers of select draft beers, all for half price. The "highlights" menu rotates weekly and may include favorites such as the Aggies' Chili Con Queso with Molten Cheese and Salsa ($4.25); the North Carolina-Style Pulled Pork Sandwich with Coleslaw and Chipotle BBQ ($4.50); and the Banana Split with Chocolate, Vanilla, and Strawberry Ice Cream and homemade Fudge and Strawberry Sauce ($3.50). "Halftime Hilarity" takes place during halftime of the 5:30 p.m. (PT) game every Monday.
The brainchild of husband-and-wife owners A.J. Gilbert and Martha Madison and Henry's Hat bartender Minnie Goode, who moonlights as a standup comedian herself, this lively halftime show is intended to bring a unique twist to the typical sports-watching experience. "Henry's Hat is an ideal spot to do something like this. The atmosphere's laidback and friendly-all around it just seemed like a natural fit," says Goode. Goode's comic and professional résumé includes performances at Hollywood's Comedy Store, The Improv, and The Laugh Factory, as well as television appearances on MTV's "Punk'd" with Ashton Kutcher. Comedians scheduled to take the stage at Henry's Hat, in addition to Goode, include Marianne Sierk (winner of the LA Improv Comedy Club Contest), Michael Goldstrom (featured on Comedy Central, HBO, and NBC, among others), Mark Daviau (deemed "one to watch" by Paul Provenza, director of the cult comedy documentary "The Aristocrats") and Angie Greenup (a series regular on the new CBS show "Smash Cuts"). Rounding out this cast of characters is a selection of secret guests, each of whom has committed to make a surprise appearance during the season. Comedy acts are performed in the "Den," a separate room adjacent to the main bar where the games are shown on the 5-by-5-foot projection screen.
Henry's Hat, a new gastropub from the owners of the popular Luna Park eateries in San Francisco and Los Angeles, is located in Studio City, directly across from the Universal Studios lot. The restaurant features 14, 40- and 50-inch flat screen TVs, as well as a 5-by-5-foot projection screen. Henry's Hat also offers a selection of board games available for checkout, including Jenga, dominoes, and Connect Four, among others. The menu features upscale takes on traditional pub favorites, alongside a collection of local and imported craft beers, and a seasonal cocktail menu. Valet and metered street parking are available. The restaurant is open Monday through Thursday 11:30 a.m.-11 p.m., Friday 11:30-12 a.m., and Saturday and Sunday 9 a.m.-10 p.m. (open early during the football season to accommodate East Coast air times), offering weekend brunch, and lunch and dinner daily.
