Ten comedians from the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, and Brazil will be stepping up on stage with the sole aim of making you laugh. This should be a fun, relaxed, and stimulating way to spend a Tuesday evening in the newly-opened Lapamaki rooftop lounge area.
Doors open at 8 PM, the show starts at 9 PM, and tickets are R$15.
