Da Marios and
Funnybone Comedy Club!
She Said:
It's been a while, dear readers. And while busyness is no excuse to neglect the most important night of the week, we are devastatingly guilty.
HOWEVER! We've still been venturing out, just haven't had the time to post. So we have quite the reserve of blog posts for you, and we're starting with our best Dorset Date Night yet - Pizza and Comedy!
I think the real reason i was so pumped to move to the UK was because of the British humour. Brett tells me often that, where my sense of humour is concerned, i'm actually a middle-aged British gay man - yay! - so what better Date Night to plan than Comedy??
Lucky for us, we live across the street from Comedy Mecca! Funnybone Comedy Club, located just off the back of the Pig and Whistle on Queens Road in Westbourne, offers an evening of classic comedy every Friday night.
To make a Date Night of it, Brett and i decided to grab some pizza beforehand. Now, Funnybone offers good nibbles (burgers, chips, nachos), but we wanted something a bit more substantial - AND, when we have the opportunity to get to Da Marios, WE GO. It's located just two doors down from Comedy, so very convenient as well.
Great thing about Da Marios - besides the fact that it's family owned, ALWAYS packed, and the pizza is the best we've EVER eaten, is it's BYOB!
So, while Brett ordered us some pizzas (they have a wide selection, but are also super keen to let you build your own - each pizza running about £9), I ran across the street to the Offy and picked up a few adult bevvies.
We felt so naughty bringing booze into the restaurant, but it was perfectly allowed.
Took us all but 10 minutes to devour our pizzas before heading next door to get our laugh on.
Funnybone is a cool venue - certainly wasn't expecting it to be by the looks of the outside (and the fact that it's piggy-backed on a pretty rough pub) - but was really fun! We were able to enjoy THREE acts, each one funnier than the next. Our waitress was attentive, as our drinks never ran dry! (Perhaps this is why we found it so funny? nah... )
Nudged in between several bucks and hens parties, we wouldn't go so far as to say it was the most romantic of Date Nights, but certainly up there with the most fun. Check it out! Tickets run about £20 each, but you can find specific pricing info - as well as other important information about the venue, rules (they are strict!) and upcoming acts - on the Funnybone Website!
Enjoy, and Happy Dating!
