Rain in the summer with a visiting kid in town... what to do...what to do... AH HA! This was a fun, affordable, Saturday night activity that was kid appropriate. Win!!
In the basement of Glass Nickel Pizza every Saturday night there are two comedy shows: an hour long (family friendly) show at 5:30pm or an hour-and-a-half adult show at 8pm. I bought tickets to the family show ($6/person) the night before and I'm glad I did. People were getting turned away at the door because they were sold out.
The performers were lively and engaging, drawing kids up on stage to participate in the scenes. Almost everyone there had a kid with them so if you're going out for "date-night" perhaps the later show is going to be more your scene.
Seating is at restaurant tables, a host will seat you (we got there about 15 min early and were one of the last groups to arrive). You can order Glass Nickel pizza / drinks and eat during the show or proceed upstairs to eat afterwards (which is what we did with no wait , no problem).
All in all, it was a hit with the visiting 12 year old kid and the resident 30-something Mister which made it a success all around.
