Tonight Allison and I went to see the comedian Tom Papa at Foxwoods. We hadn’t been there in a while, I think the last show we saw was last year with Gabriel Iglesias. Foxwoods is a great venue for comedy because it is easy to get to, plenty of parking and the theater is nice for comedy. We’ve seen a few comedians there over the years. We had never seen Tom Papa live and it was really funny. Well, most of the show was funny but the very end was full of continuous laughter.
We tried to get reservations for some of the restaurants within Foxwoods but they were all booked up solid. Instead I mapped out the route down to Foxwoods and took a look at all the restaurants along the way. We found one, The Tin Peddler, that looked good. Allison asked me to make reservations and I am glad that I did because when we got there we found out that the place was celebrating their two year anniversary and they had a live band playing. The three piece band did a lot of fun covers and we were seated right in front of them. It was loud and had to have a conversation but the food was excellent and we were able to eat and get to our show on time.
We had a very nice time at the show. There was no chance to grab a photo of Tom because phones were not allowed during the show. I did try and take a selfie with him in the background after the show but I was not quick enough. That is okay because the fun was seeing the show and laughing at the great jokes.
