About The Original Room
This is where it all started. April 7th, 1972. This is the room where The Store became the home of American Comedy. Known for its intimate shows and late nights, The Original Room is the favorite space for super star comedians and after midnight heroes to test material, find their voices, and riff with the piano player.

Vargus Mason
The media first dubbed Vargus “THE HUMAN CARTOON” as a finalist for the 2002 San Francisco Comedy Competition. Since then, he’s expanded his highly physical movements and arsenal of animated voices to make you wet your pants.nnHis humor has been seen on NBC’s Last Comic Standing, HBO’s Def Comedy Jam, Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham, Comics Unleashed & Entertainers with Byron Allen, BET’s Comic-View and VH1. Vargus was Comedy Central’s online red-carpet host for the Celebrity Roast of Flavor Flav. nnHis human Cartoon Nickname must have been prophetic, as you can currently hear Vargus on the Disney Lion King revamp series the “Lion Guard” as Cheezi the Hyena, Doc McStuffins, Sophia the First, Hanazuki for Titmouse and is a contract VO artist for Nickelodeon Animation Studios. Catch him in 2022 on Netflix’s Inside Job, Pinky Malinky and We Lost Our Human.nnVargus takes a great deal of pride performing abroad for the military, having traveled to nearly 40 countries as an entertainer for the U.S. Troops. If you can’t catch Vargus on television or on tour, he can be seen at various LA playgrounds getting his butt kicked by two daughters.
