The First (and Maybe the Last) Eureka Springs, AR Aqua Comedy Show

Chamber Announces

“The First (and Maybe the Last) Eureka Springs

Aqua Comedy Show”

The Greater Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce announced a benefit show on Tuesday, April 28, 2009 featuring stand-up comedy, improvisation and music from local talent.

“By now, everyone is suffering from cabin fever, especially with the stress of the ice storm, so we thought we would plan an event for locals to help lighten the mood going in to the tourist season,” explained Chamber Vice-President Lisa Liggett. “The proceeds of the night’s event will be used to supplement the Economic Development budget of the Chamber.”

The comedy and music event will be held at the Ozark Mountain Hoe Down beginning at 7:00 p.m. The Ozark Mountain Hoe Down has donated the space for the performance. Likewise, performers during the evening are also donating their time and talents.

When asked about the “Aqua” tag in the title of the event, Liggett revealed that the evening would carry a PG-13 rating and may not be entirely suitable for families with small children. “No vulgar language, or other inappropriate behavior; it won’t be a “blue” comedy show, just slightly blue-hued, you know – aqua.”

“You tend to kid the ones you love, so we’ll be lampooning locals, tourists and others who regularly touch our lives in an effort to paste some grins on our hard working audience,” offered Visitor Information Center Manager Gloria Stevens.

Tickets for the evening are $10 per person and are available at the Chamber of Commerce.

“We think everyone needs a little laughter before going in to the season full throttle. All we hear from the media is gloom and doom. We hope to have a great turnout Tuesday evening,” concluded Stevens.
