Owen Benjamin at The Improv Comedy Club & Dinner Theatre

Last night my husband and I had a date night for the first time in, well, I’m not exactly sure how long! We went to see Owen Benjamin at The Improv Comedy Club and Dinner Theatre; I cannot even put into words how much we laughed last night.

The lights dimmed, the drinks were flowing, food was served and the laughs started. We got there right as the lights dimmed and the show was about to start. Got some drinks and ordered some food. My husband had #3 combo platter The Headliner, which has calamari, fried green tomatoes and BBQ egg rolls. I tried some of his calamari (I am very picky about my calamari) and it was really good! I had the Oh My God Sushi Rolls, made with mixed fish, cream cheese, Japanese, mayonnaise, sesame- garlic sauce, served Warm with Ponzu Sauce, and Oh My God where they to die for! And for dessert we had KRISPY KREME BREAD PUDDING, consists of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, white Valrhona Chocolate, and Makers Mark caramel sauce. Yes, it was as good as it sounds. We got to see 3 Comedians perform including Owen Benjamin, and then had a special guest…George Wallace! My cheeks hurt from laughing so hard!
