The Experience
You're sitting down to eat and the lights dim—that's when you realize this isn't just a meal with entertainment on the side. The Comedy Bash is 90 minutes of stand-up, sketch comedy, magic tricks, and live music happening right in front of you while your food arrives at the table. The cast rotates through Christopher James, Blake Walker, Shannon Thomason, and Jim Barber, who's done Late Show with David Letterman and knows how to work a room. The Comedy Bash Band keeps the energy moving between acts, so there's no dead air, no waiting for the next thing to happen.
Jim Barber's part of the lineup—he does ventriloquism with characters that actually make you forget there's a puppet involved, plus audience participation that lands without feeling forced. The whole show runs at a pace that keeps families and groups engaged without getting exhausting. It's at the Playhouse Theater at The Shepherd of the Hills, which means you're not cramped into a tiny venue; the space is built for this kind of thing. Wheelchair accessible throughout, and infants can sit on a lap or in a stroller if you're bringing the whole family.
The meal is served while the show's running, so you're not choosing between watching and eating—you do both. It's the kind of night where you don't have to think about what to do next or how to fill the time. You show up, sit down, and the evening takes care of itself. Tickets are straightforward to book online, and the show runs regularly enough that you can pick a date that works.
