James Cook's journal entries from 1778 mention fleeting glimpses of a strange, mermaid-like creature with the tail of a fish and the head of a bird, which hypnotized his crew with its amusing jokes, stories, and observations.
Was this creature you?? Come and prove it at Anchorage's classiest comedy open mic, hosted in the Whale's Tail bar inside the Hotel Captain Cook! We're here every first Thursday through the winter.
7pm signup, 7:30pm show.
Our ground rules:
1. No Hate Speech or Offensive Content. This is a welcoming space for all. Prejudicial jokes based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc., or that cause audience members to feel unsafe, will not be tolerated.
2. Respect the Host’s Judgment. If the host determines that a performer’s material crosses the line or is inappropriate for the event, the performer must respectfully step down.
3. Aim to Entertain. Our goal is to create a fun, inclusive atmosphere. As this is a public event in a privately owned venue, please aim to entertain.
4. Time Limits: Each comic is allotted a set performance time. Please respect the schedule and your fellow performers.
5. Drink Ticket Reward: Performers will receive a drink ticket valid for one beverage upon completing their set.
