Hell Yes Fest kicked off Wednesday night at Republic in the Warehouse District. The crowd for the standup event was small, but young, enthusiastic and smart. Before any comedians hit the stage, the audience was treated to the first installment of The Drink Show, a clever local production from Fat Happy Media exploring and embracing bar culture in New Orleans and abroad. The Drink Show are also sponsors of the festival, so look for their appearances throughout the weekend.
