Keep those laughs coming

OK, all you comedy lovers. You kicked out the jams at Poor Boy's Riverside Inn.

Response to the restaurant's weekly "The Last Couillon Standing" joke-offs has been so great that the Inn has rescheduled the final event for Sunday.

The series of comedy nights has filled the restaurant to bursting some nights, said co-owner Elaine Alderman.

"These comics have such strong local followings that we knew we had to make the last event the best," Alderman said.

The final performance for the nine comics will be held at 3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 23.

Riverside Inn is located at 240 Tubing Road. The performance is free, as all of the comedy nights have been. The Inn's kitchens will shut down for the performance, but you can come early for lunch and stay for the fun.

The series of elimination nights will send the top three comedians to Cajun Comic Relief XVII, Goodwill's fundraising and fun-raising event, set for Saturday, Feb. 27, in the Heymann Performing Arts Center.
