If you're ready to get out of the house and spend the evening laughing, Dry Bar Comedy is coming to town this week! It has been so hot out this past week and for me, that can drive me a little stir crazy. Get out of the house and have a chuckle at the Rialto Theatre on Thursday (August 26th) night at 7 pm to see a few of the talented, family-friendly comedians from Dry Bar Comedy.

If you are not familiar with Dry Bar Comedy, they are known for their hilarious, family-appropriate comedy shows. Check out their YouTube page for a good sample of what you would be in for. Some people think that family-friendly means juvenile or low-brow. While you won't be hearing crude jokes or harsh language, you can be assured to have a night of laughter that people of all ages will find funny.

Tickets are $24 - $30 a person, depending on seating preference, and there are still a good amount of tickets left to pick up. The show will feature some hilarious comedians, including Shayne Smith, Jay Whittaker, Steve Soelberg, and Alex Velluto. Each of these comedians is super funny in their own way. These shows are always a big hit, and if you have kids who can be hard to entertain, Dry Bar Comedy will be sure to make them and you laugh.

The Dry Bar Comedy tour got its start in downtown Provo, Utah. Wanting great comedians to come through town while keeping their shows clean was the whole idea. The comedy club wanted to have a place that people of all ages could grab some food and listen to some great comedy without worrying about if it was appropriate for their kids or not. Now, professional comedians from around the country come through the club. Some of the most popular acts have joined the Dry Bar Comedy Tour, which is stopping by Tucson this week!

The Rialto Theatre is hosting this great show. The doors open at 7 pm with the show starting at 8 pm. Get there early to grab snacks or something to drink before the main event. The theatre itself is a piece of historic architecture for downtown Tucson. Built in 1920 as a companion building to the Congress Hotel, the Rialto Theatre has seen its fair share of history. So head downtown this week and catch a case of the giggles at the Dry Bar Comedy Tour.

This charming little Thai food restaurant is a wonderful break from the usual fast-food joints that dot the map.

September Star Gazing Events

I think we can all agree that nothing beats the night sky in the desert. Tucson and the surrounding towns have some of the best places for incredible night sky viewing. Most towns, like Marana and Oro Valley, are considered dark sky towns. This means there is less light pollution, which makes stargazing that much better. The Tucson Amateur Astronomy Association (TAAA) is a great organization to get involved with if you want to learn more about astronomy and star-viewing.

Weekend Trips: Utah Edition

This past week I was able to take a much needed break from the Arizona heat and head from Tucson International Airport into Salt Lake International Airport.

That drive alone can be enough to keep me from booking a weekend trip away.
