Classy Comedy

Seeing as my 8:05 class just ended, I find myself having more opportunities to take advantage of all downtown Iowa City has to offer. Hence, second blog in two days. I felt compelled to share my experience of last nights Comedy Night at The Summit. Although I have heard mixed reviews from friends, I found the comedians last night quite hilarious. Obviously they can't compare with such favorites as Louie C.K. or Demetri Martin (both of whom I suggest to all), but I found myself laughing out loud many times.

I will warn you though that I may have just been there on a good night. I have heard that some nights the comedians are not worth the $5 cover charge. But in my opinion even if you are stuck with two bad acts, the 1/2 priced drinks, $2 dozen wings, and other cheap food options, still make it a fun night. Plus the upstairs bar where the event is held is somewhat converted into a classy comedy club feel with cabaret tables set up near the stage with candles and table cloths on them. The bar tries hard to make it a cool atmosphere and its defiantly something different to do on a normally boring Wednesday night.
