After enjoying a fantastic dinner at Butcher & the Boar in downtown Minneapolis, we ventured a few blocks away to the Brave New Workshop comedy show. This is definitely a Minnesota must-do. BNW is not stand-up or improv, but features Saturday Night Live-like skits. Subject matter of the skits varies, but you can always count on some good ol' Minnesota humor as well as relationship humor. It can be a little explicit at times, but it is sure to deliver an evening of full of laughter. We saw the preview show last night where they try out a bunch of skits and vet out the ones that don't garner as much laughter or applause others. What a fun idea! Then the real show is sure to deliver the best material. My favorite skits centered around a new couple's first kiss, a song about the Minnesota goodbye (you all know what I'm talking about), a couple's Netflix queue, firemen visiting a school, and the devious cat. I seriously wish I had jotted down all the one liners that kept me laughing to the point of tears.
BNW features specialty cocktails for $6, as well as beer, wine, and snacks. They even have servers to take your order and bring it to your table. Whether you are on a date or hanging with friends, BNW makes for an excellent night out. They are currently showing "A Pedal Pub Named Desire" and tickets cost between $10-$30.
