Night Cap rounds up stories that unfold after dark, when good judgment clocks out and comedy takes over. These shorts capture nights that spiral, surprise, and refuse to be forgotten — for better or worse. From late-night decisions to early-morning consequences, this package proves the funniest stories rarely happen before bedtime.
