Blind Panther Comedy: Royal Wedding Anniversary Edition

BenMills — Tue, 01 May 2012 00:41:37 +0000

Monday, April 30th, 2012 – The Prophouse Cafe – 1636 Venables Ave

Jason Bryden & Jimmy Barnes Present:
BLIND PANTHER COMEDY: ROYAL WEDDING ANNIVERSARY EDITION

This time last year, literally half the world watched Prince Billy and Kate tie the proverbial knot in a ceremony that left most people feeling even poorer than they already did. Surprisingly, the Royal couple are still together one year later, and according the AP, they’re going to celebrate. But here’s the bad news. Whatever they’re doing is apparently not going to be televised ad nauseam! In turn, none of us know what to do with our week. Well guess what? Blind Panther Comedy returns to The Prophouse Cafe this Monday night with another stellar lineup of stand-up comedians, cheap drinks, & great food. Come out and get your mind off the Royal’s first anniversary, even if just for an hour-and-a-half.

$5.00 // Cheap drinks & food

DOORS: 8:00pm

SHOW STARTS @ 8:30 & ENDS 10:00pm
