Hello, lovely people! Karen Brem here, your go-to for all things fun and fabulous at the Historic Mardi Gras Inn, nestled like a gem in the vibrant French Quarter. This coming Saturday night, Feb. 17, 2024, promises to be an uproarious affair as the comedy queen herself, Ali Wong, graces New Orleans with her presence at the Mahalia Jackson Theatre of the Performing Arts. The curtains rise at 8:00 PM, but the buzz is already electric!
Now, if you’ve been living under a rock (a very unfunny rock, might I add), Ali Wong is the dynamo who has been splitting sides across the globe with her razor-sharp wit and relatable humor. She’s not just a comedian; oh no, she’s a whirlwind of talent, having carved a name for herself as an accomplished actor, with standout roles that leave you chuckling long after the credits roll. Remember her in “Always Be My Maybe”? I still can’t look at a bowl of soup without giggling!
But let’s not forget her stand-up specials that have become almost a rite of passage for anyone who claims to enjoy comedy. Watching Ali perform is like catching up with your funniest friend – the one who tells it like it is, with a twinkle in their eye and a knack for making even the mundane hilarious. And this Saturday, she’s bringing that magic to our very own New Orleans.
Now, as the marketing director for the Historic Mardi Gras Inn, I could wax lyrical about our exquisite lodging options and the plush comforts that await you. But let’s keep it real – what we offer is a clean, cozy nook to rest your head, affordable rates that keep your wallets happy, and a staff so warm and welcoming, you’ll think you’ve come home to your long-lost family. No frills, no fuss, just good old-fashioned Southern hospitality.
And what better way to cap off a day exploring the enchanting streets of the French Quarter than with an evening bursting with laughter? Ali Wong’s performance is not just a show; it’s a cathartic experience. In these trying times, her humor is like a balm for the soul, reminding us to find joy in the chaos and laughter in the absurd.
So, dear friends, if you’re pondering over plans for this Saturday, ponder no more! Join us in welcoming Ali Wong to New Orleans. Let’s fill the Mahalia Jackson Theatre with our laughter and our spirits. And when the night is done, and your cheeks ache from smiling, the Historic Mardi Gras Inn will be here to offer you a comfy bed and a heartfelt welcome.
Remember, life is too short to miss out on good comedy, great company, and the enchanting allure of New Orleans. Let’s make this weekend one for the books – filled with laughter, love, and a little bit of Ali Wong magic. See you there, and bring your funniest bone!
Yours in endless giggles,
Karen Brem
