The next Sample Night Live show is January 2nd at History Theatre in St. Paul.  The January show is extra special as it’s the Staff Favorites Show.  If you’ve never attended Sample Night Live, this show allows you to preview a variety of acts from local productions across the metro area.  This is a great event to attend if you’re on a budget because St. Paul Library card holders can obtain free tickets.  If you have a Hennepin County library card it’s easy to register your card at any of the St. Paul public libraries so you can also get in on this deal too.  Goldstar also offers discount tickets.

I’ve been to about 3 Sample Night Live shows and always have a great time!

This event is hosted to promote the arts so donations are appreciated, particularly if you do not pay for tickets.  If you’d prefer to support Sample Night Live through the purchase of food and drinks, I’m sure that’s appreciated too!

…comedian Zach Coulter!  I’ve seen Zach perform a few times and always find him thoroughly entertaining.  Typically, tears of laughter end up streaming down my face.

Zach’s next performance is New Year’s Eve at the Ramada in Bloomington.  There are two shows at 8:00 & 10:30 Door Price: $25.  Click here to buy tickets.

To watch Zach test out some material at Comedy Corner Underground’s free open mic night, view the video below.  If you like this set, you’ll really enjoy his established material.

Sample Night Live: Recap & Discounts!

I went to Sample Night Live last night for the first time and it was great!  We saw Irish dancers, theater acts, improv comedians, a jazz group and more.  My favorite act was Lounge-asaurus Rex, who did some improv lounge singing and served as the emcee for the evening.  I also really enjoyed the act from History Theater’s upcoming “American as Curry Pie.”
