Naughty or Nice at the Brew Ha-Ha

Some jokes were naughty, other were nice, others, like those told by local TV personality, Benita Zahn, mixed it all up for a rib-tickling good night of laughs.

It was no-holds bar at the Lark Tavern tonight. Benita confessed dozens of industry tidbits including three dirty 'words' she wishes she could use on the news and a slice of bathroom humor that sent me roaring. Her first time on stage and she was a natural.

It's no surprise though when National stand-up comedian, Greg Aidala teaches sold-out workshops to novices every month. He's been voted 'Best Local Comedian' for 2007, 2008 & 2009 and has taught over 80 students in Albany, New York since 2008.

Even a cold spell of snow did nothing to discourage customers from crowding into the Lark Tavern to see 'The Brew HA-HA'. I found a seat way in the back but as the adjacent bar got busier and busier, the jokes got harder and harder to hear.

My advice, go early, at least one hour beforehand, and aim for the front. Nothing is funnier than a punchline you can hear.
