THEATRE + COMEDY

Rudyard's and Nia De-Bose present The Late Nite Liquid Courage Comedy Showcase.

There’s a new alternative to the Comedy Club. No drink minimums, and [relatively few] d*&^ jokes. We get it; Airline food sucks, dogs are different from cats, and women love shoes. Moving forward, Houston Comedian Nia De-Bose is providing Houstonians with a new format for comedy. The Late Nite Liquid Courage Comedy Showcase will feature the city’s best and brightest upcoming and established stand-up Comics. Think of the Tonight Show, if it only featured Comedians.

With the Average Black Band playing some mean 70′s funk, and libations abound it’s sure to tickle your funny bone and lure you into the Soul Train line!
