From the Organizer:
Six courses. Six cocktails. Six comedians. A Friday the 13th/Valentine's Eve comedy dinner unlike anything you’ve ever experienced
This Friday the 13th, six extraordinary courses from Heart Of Gold's Daniel Racco are paired with performances from six of the Midwest’s sharpest comedians—each course matched with a joke, and each joke designed to add new layers to each bite and sip.
Optional cocktail pairings from Elena Weisenseel accompany each course, crafted to complement both the flavors on the plate and the jokes from the stage.
Dress like it’s 1929, eat like the market hasn’t crashed yet, drink like it just did, and laugh your way through all of it.
Community-style seating brings guests together at shared tables, turning strangers into tablemates and tablemates into co-conspirators as you guess which jokes are paired with each dish and drink. From the vibe to the pacing of the courses and comedy, every detail is designed to pull you into a singular, shared experience.
Come as strangers. Come again as swingers.
