Cocktails & Comedy is a one night event taking place Saturday, May 28, at the Oscar Event Center, that will showcase the delicate and delicious craft of cocktail creation and the subtle ­ and sometimes ​not​so subtle ­ art of telling jokes.

Guests will experience several tables of custom cocktails and beverages with eight samples included in their ticket, plus fantastic food choices, and, of course, an entire night full of big laughs from the some of the area’s most refreshing up­and­coming comedic performers. They are enlisting the talents of some of the area’s best comedians to help fill the Grand Hall of the Oscar Event Center with laughs, including Holly Lynnea, Tom Schmidlin and recent Local Nights winner, Lee Kimbrell.

On the cocktails side, look for a Bloody Mary bar set up to help kick things off ­ or keep things going ­ and specially made cocktails from some of the industry’s top names. There may be a few other surprises along the way to make the night a bit more interesting than your typical cocktail event (whoopie cushions are likely).

Jungle Jim’s is offering two ways to experience this singular festival!

In addition to the drinks included, VIP tickets allow some extra drinks and food in the Bar, the chance to meet and greet former professional football players now part of the NFL Alumni while you hang out in the Pub (more information about their partnership with NFL Alumni coming soon) and a special swag bag filled with comedy gold.

General Admission ticket holders can enjoy a number of samples as part of their ticket purchase, and there will be food set up around the Grand Hall to sink their teeth in to (real, or wind­up).

Jungle Jim’s is thrilled to showcase the talents of so many local comedians at the Oscar Event Center. They’re not too upset about the drinks that will be on hand, either.
