Opening Night
Maplewood, MO - On a crisp evening in downtown Maplewood, Laughs in the Lou prepares for opening night at the Live Juke Joint. The stage is set, lights shining, and plates are full.... St. Louis nightlife will never be the same. Comedian/Host Silly Man approaches the mic peering over a very diverse crowd, he tells his first joke of the evening......
SillyMan quickly acknowledges ALL the "white" people in the room; he realizes history is being made. After a quick count of about 12, he declares Laughs in the Lou an instant success due to the sheer amount of white patrons in attendance (inside joke). The crowd erupted in laughter and the night begins!! He smiles and says to himself, "There's no turning back."
Amenities
The Live Juke Joint provided a wonderful atmosphere to enhance the adventure of Laughs in the Lou. Located in the heart of Maplewood, Live Juke Joint staff ensured the stage conditions were up to par as well as provided a very tasty buffet style dinner with included pasta and smothered chicken breast....Yum!
"This feels like you're out of town", Chief RCG said who was in attendance this star-studded night. DJ Hold Up provided the tunes and kept the crowd entertained during each set. #UGet2Eat was a fitting hashtag for this event as everyone said they left full of good food. And of course, the bartender had the drinks flowing.
