Earlier this month we had a "grown-ups night out" with 6 other couples and went to watch
Augie's Laugh Shack at the Pagoda Hotel La Salle Room.
The cost is $10 per person with a two drink minimum (you purchase two $5 drink tickets upon entering).
They do serve pupus which were not bad (sorry--I forgot to take pictures of the pupus), such as chicken wings, edamame, fries, and calamari.
The show is from 8 to 9:30pm. It started a little late with a few other comedians doing stand-up (one was Jose Dynamite--pretty funny!), but once Augie came on stage, it was just about non-stop laughter.
Our table was right in the middle, and our friends from the mainland, who were the last to arrive of all the couples, had the seats closest to the stage, so it was inevitable that they would get picked on.
Seeing our friends get picked on was really funny, but Augie himself was just super hilarious.
He joked about different lifestyles, ethnicities, relationships, and even his own children.
My favorite part was during the hana hou - he talked about the silly games kids used to play such as the string games and paper fortune telling games, and our table just cracked up because we played those exact games when we were kids!
The show did end a little late because of the hana hou, but overall, the show was great and Augie T was super funny.
There is one more show for the year on Friday October 7, and if you're in the mood for lots of laughs check it out!
Note: Like Augie said during his act, if you're sensitive to jokes about cultures, lifestyles, etc., you should think twice about going. It is, after all, a comedy show, but he said some people still do end up getting offended!Augie's Laugh Shack: Call 479-0576 to hold your seats
