This isn't a joke - we swear! Join us for an evening of laughs and delicious food that, contrary to assumption, the house is not named after (or vice versa).
Tickets: $85 | On Sale February 26 @ 5:30 PM
Tickets include appetizers, dinner, and the show. Doors open at 6:00 PM, dinner and the show will start at 7:00 PM. A cash bar will be available with select beer, wine, and non-alcoholic options with proceeds benefiting Salisbury House Foundation.
ABOUT THE EVENT:
Our friends at Tangerine Food Company are turning your grandpa's favorite frozen meal into the next gourmet craze. We've also booked three local stand-ups (Mara B., Matthew Jacobsen, and Sean Dengler) who will have you laughing through dinner!

WHY WE'RE DOING IT:
Guests ask our staff and volunteers all the time "Let me guess, this was built by John Salisbury?" or "Did this guy invent Salisbury Steak?" and they're only joking about half the time. Those who are joking take it seriously, to the point of leaving us pleasant Google reviews and editing our Wikipedia page. We figure if everyone else is having a laugh, why can't we?
Jokes aside, the Weekses are a family that loves to laugh. As part of our mission to preserve, interpret, and share Salisbury House with the community we keep front of mind Carl and Edith Weeks' legacy as hosts and do what we can to bring that legacy to life at the events we hold today - and that means having a good laugh on occasion.
