Friday Events!
Comedy Night SOLD OUT
Friday, April 5th Doors Open at 7:30pm T-Bock's Sports Bar & Grill Come laugh it up at T-Bock's as part of Womens' Weekend Out! This comedy show will appeal to gals, guys, and anyone who loves a good laugh! Our comedy night will feature comedian Mike Merryfield with Tracy Schroeder opening. In a business where too many performers rely on shtick or the latest political joke du jour to get laughs, Mike Merryfield is refreshingly original. His act never feels fake or forced. By simply being himself, he's become a comic on the verge of stardom. Tracy Schroeder has been doing comedy for 15 years and couldn't imagine doing anything else because, frankly, she has no other skills and lacks the motivation to get a real job. Her sharp wit and whimsical ability to see what's wrong with the world has not only made her a great comic but has also cost her every human relationship she's ever had. General Admission seating. Doors open at 7:30pm, so come early to get your preferred seat and/or save a table for your group. Showtime begins at 8:30pm. Advance tickets are $12 sold only through Eventbrite. The show is expected to sell out, so get your tickets today! Any leftover tickets will be sold at the door for $15.
