Odd Ball '06 [Jazz and ComedySoc]

YeVaD

JazzSoc and ComedySoc are organising this event for Tuesday next week (28th February). It's set to be an cheap and cheerful alternative to the ridiculously expensive blacktie balls (like B&L's €60 ball), with two Jazz bands and three comedians performing on the night.

Tickets are only €15 (or €10 if you're a member of JazzSoc or ComedySoc) and its on in the Laughter Lounge on Eden Quay. Don't worry, it's all casual dress and everybody's here to have a good laugh (ouch..)

See this poster for more details. Tickets are on sale Friday - Tuesday at the Wall. Feel free to PM me or reply here with any questions

Should be good, is it definitely on in the laughter lounge, heard they were asking for a fortune so it might be in the sugar club, donno if there's any truth to it though...

YeVaD

Laughter Lounge are asking for a fair few bob alright but I think the committee are sticking with it.. if there is a change in plan it'll be on the posters we'll be sticking up around campus, but I doubt it.

The_Minister

Where was it on in the end was thinking of going.

humbert

its on in the laughter lounge, I'm sure they'd be glad to get as many as they can:v:

hullaballoo

It's on tonight in the laughter lounge. Doors are at 7.30. It should be amazing, unfortunately I'm stuck in bed with the 'flu so I won't make it.

hullaballoo

Are you going humbert?

The_Minister

where is the laughter lounge? are there tickets left? do i have to pay more at the door.

humbert

I might go, not sure yet, and firespinner I get the impression there is definitely tickets left, as to whether u'd pay more at the door I'm trying to find out myself...

hullaballoo

It's the same price on the door as well, ie €10. The laughter lounge is just off O'Connell street, near O'Connell bridge. Other than that, I'm not sure, except that it's right beside the seediest lapdancing club in Dublin - the Garden of Eden or something horrific like that.

Scraggs

hmm what a coincidence no?

The_Minister

is it dangerous? We can dance with strippers in the snow....

humbert

Looks like I am going, do you know if comedy soc sold many tickets, or when you say sick do you mean hiding from creditors with baseball bats:)

Yea it's on the north side of the liffey ust about 100 yards east of o'connell street

A little from column A, a little from column B... :v:

Ah no, the truth is I actually don't know how many tickets comedy soc have sold. I've been hallucinating a lot today becuase of the high temperature I have, so most of what's happened to me hasn't been what you'd call lucid.

The_Minister

Is there adress code/id required? I assume id.
What time start and finish?

besty

I'm also Comedy Soc committee. Ticket sales are steady but not amazing. You'll get one, put it that way. Promises to be a great laugh. I'm heading in now. Doors at 7.30 and the bar doesn't close until 3. Provide yourself with plenty soakage.

Cheers panda. He's on the way home to make me some pancakes now! I'm raging I'm missing tonight, I'd say it will be amazing.

besty

twas brilliant. The comedy was very very funny. The jazz, not so good. Then again, thats why I'm comedy society committee and not jazz soc committee

humbert

twas good, better turnout than I expected and have to admit I did enjoy the comedy more than the jazz but both were good! It was odd being seated on a night out but it is the odd ball:p
