Last week, on Friday 13th, the weekend of the titanic's sinking centenary, in a rainstorm, we dressed up and went out for a meal on a boat....
And thats where the comparisons stop.
Our trip out was to the premiere of the 'River Giggle' an Evening of Comedy on the River Avon. The format of the evening, run by promoter and gangster character act Sal Monello, is simple - a three course meal followed by 4 comedy acts. The venue, aboard The Penny Lane River Cruiser , gives a nice twist to the evening.
The evening was an absolute blinder, with some great comedians and delicious food! Luckily we had a great crowd on our table so the banter over dinner was fun too! Unfortunately the rain put pay to any photos, so you'll have to imagine how fabulous we looked!!!
They are looking to run this regularly the 2nd Friday of the month, if you're near Bath its a great night out, you can book here. And Sal holds other comedy nights around the area too, if boats aren't your thing!*
*The boat is moored for the evening so no sea sickness to worry about!!

VJ - you should go along, you're localish aren't you? (the venue is open for lots of other things too)
ReplyDeleteRebecca - I booked it not really realising the venue until i'd talked hubby into going to a comedy night , the boat was the icing on the cake! i'd love to go back on a sunny summer evening and have drinks 'up top'!
