um, there was a two drink minimum that i didn't know about making the 8 dollar show with a couple good comics into a 20 dollar show where everyone sucked because you had to rate them against how much you were spending.. also the comics did not have strong irish/italian material, except the one guy, so they dragged down their acts trying to incorporate it.. also we missed the headliner's entire act trying to figure out the bill full of 8 dollar drugstore mix drinks and 5 dollar poland springs
A few of the comedians were funny but not enough to save the show. Luckily the best comedians were last and left a somewhat good impression. Given the low price, it was an ok show.
Save your money...
What can one say about this show without sounding like a jerk.
Save your money... even if the tickets are free.
The show was not funny nor fun. They stress the two drink minimum SOOOO many times it gets obnoctious. The acts need to cut 2/3rds of their material as it is dated and just not funny.
With the 2 drink minumum and 18% tip you are looking at $20.00 per person for the drinks. Much less the ticket price. ( even if it is free at times). In hind sight, I could have spent one of my nights in NYC doing something fun. But alas this was 2 hours out of you life you will never get back.
It really hit home. Relived Catholic school days of yore.
I enjoyed the show. Some comics were OK, some bad, and a two or three were really funny. On the other hand, the bill came out to be a lot more than I expected.
The title has nothing to do with the content of the jokes. Aspiring comedians start by saying they are italian or irish and then joke about random things. The place is depressing. Would not recommend it.
It's a show where you listen to comedians talk about their childhood & being Irish and the customs of Irish people.
The comedians even make fun of some of the audience members.
It was very entertaining.
It's stand-up..thought I was going to see a show..but it was still good..small venue, so it's intimate.
It was good.
Cannoli and Cabbage is a showcase of Italian-American and Irish comedians sharing warm, humorous and honest stories about being Irish or Italian-American, having crazy family members, going to Catholic schools, the Pope, religious moms, and more.
