Tonight Allison and I went to see Ben Brainard at the Comedy Connection in Providence. Ben Brainard is a comedian that we discovered at the start of the pandemic. He was doing skits as if he was a different state talking to the federal government regarding how they were rolling out the vaccine mandates. When he did the MA character we were hooked. We’ve been watching him ever since and when we heard that he was coming to Rhode Island we had to go and see him.
Before we went out to the Comedy Connection I picked Andy up from camp and he told me about his day. He had fun today because he was able to decorate cupcakes and he’s been learning how to decorate cupcakes all this past year at the Creative Sewing Studio. So he has some skills already. He asked if he could have a third color of frosting so that he could create raccoon cupcakes. So he got black, white and grey. They came out really cute.
Before we went to the show we had dinner at the Black Duck Tavern next door to the venue. This was a nice place with good food. We got some hot wings that had buffalo, maple and siracha, they were quite good. We also got some chicken and waffles which were also good.
Allison got an iced tea old fashioned and the ice cube had a duck in it. She took the photo and traced the duck with the app. The ice cube was not yellow.
After Ben’s show, which was very funny, we took photos with the host and also one of Ben’s Tik Tok friends who did 5 minutes of comedy.
It was a fun night and we had a great time seeing live comedy.
