Comics Lounge provides everything you need with a refreshing fun and comfortable atmosphere: Great food, entertainment, drinks and laughter with friends and family. So, here’s 5 reasons why a comedy show at the Comics Lounge should be at the top of your hens and bucks night list:

1. Laughter is the Best Medicine

Let’s be honest, wedding planning is tough. All that money, time and effort you put into logistics on invitations to guests, venues for catch-ups with friends before the big night — surely a night of pure fun is in order where everyone can sit back, laugh out loud & just enjoy having your favourite family and friends amongst you. 

The comedians are guaranteed to have you howling — laughter triggers endorphins, fuelling a state of being happier and lighter! So why not begin your pre-wedding on a high.

2. Create Lifelong Core Memories 

Comedy shows provide the kind of lasting memories that make for hours-long lip-flapping after you part ways at the end of the night. The answer is simple; Picture a group of friends sharing a joke, having just heard something ridiculous or been hit with an unexpected punchline at The Comics Lounge. 

These shared experiences end up being treasured memories which ultimately will have your hens or bucks night listed as one, that still gets talked about. On the plus side, I suppose there can be some good stories to share at a wedding.

3. Breaking the Ice

The day is also about a bucks or hens icebreaker. Therefore, instead of showing up to a wedding by yourself feeling shy and insecure because you know no-one attending apart from the bride’s second cousin or that hilarious office legend who used to work with the groom at our comedy show.

 If you have a fun, laid-back bride or groom who loves to laugh (and whose friends do as well), this is the perfect opportunity for something different and exciting — choose from stand up comedies, improv shows or even satire acts on your fiancé! This is a time to experiment and really make something special.
