Surgeon General’s warning: Beer pong may induce feelings of amorous joy and accomplishment.

NA-KED LAP! NA-KED LAP! NA-KED LAP!

How many years has it been since you’ve heard these words in a non-reputation-damaging social setting? How long since you’ve nailed that strategic bounce? An unexpected bring back? Or the even rarer, mythological, DOUBLE bring back?

For beer pong fans, there’s no better place to re-live your college years than Tambien this Thursday — and every Thursday — for the rest of summer. Beginning at 9 p.m., pongers of all ages (at least 21, that is) are invited to try their luck on Tambien’s two “standard size” (i.e. banquet) tables.

As we first told you on Friday, one of our favorite new comedians, Moshe Kasher, is hitting Comedy Works South later this week for a set of shows destined to turn that frown upside down, then sideways , then rip it off your face.

Check out the second half of our Q&A with the 29-year-old Bay Area native, who recently won “Best of the Fest” at the Aspen Rooftop Comedy Festival, in advance of his shows at Comedy Works Thursday-Saturday.

Every once in awhile a comic comes along who slaps you upside the head so violently that your only recourse is whirl around, dazed, and wonder where all your teeth just went. Lately, 29-year-old Bay Area native Moshe Kasher has been fulfilling that role for many people. Smart, dirty, sharp, self-deprecating and ultimately hilarious, Kasher won over the crowd at the recent Aspen Rooftop Comedy Festival, walking away with the “Best of the Fest” award.

Of course, like many hot young things, Kasher didn’t materalize fully-formed. He’s been plying his trade for years in traditional and non-traditional comedy venues, sketch troupes, online videos and even monologues for years, but people have just now started to take notice.

All the right people, in fact. Kasher’s new album “Everyone You Know is Going to Die… And Then You Are” was snatched up by Rooftop Comedy’s record label and he’s planning on filming a “Live at Gotham” special for Comedy Central later this year, among other projects.

We spoke to Kasher in advance of his headlining sets at Comedy Works South Thursday, July 9 through Saturday, July 11.

Will Jet South live up to the downtown location (pictured above)? Only time — and the denizens of the DTC — will tell.

The Denver Tech Center has a lot going for it, but it’s not exactly the party capital of the metro area.

Once the whistle blows, the hordes of office workers in the area flee, leaving little but terrible I-25 traffic in their wake. It seems that few are willing to hang around on the DTC’s manicured boulevards, though the smattering of chain restaurants in the area hints that some people are hitting up Chili’s and the like for post-work margaritas.

It’s understandable: Most people aren’t too keen on spending extra time at work, and if there’s a drive involved, having a drink is inadvisable.
