Feast on Laughter: Thanksgiving Funny Fest at Bert’s Marketplace

by | Nov 18, 2024

Looking for a way to shake off that turkey coma? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because the Thanksgiving Funny Fest is about to hit Detroit like a gravy tsunami! This hilarious event is set to tickle your funny bone on Saturday, November 30, 2024, from 7:00 PM to 10:30 PM EST at Bert’s Marketplace in Detroit, Michigan.

Location, Location, Location

Now, I know what you’re thinking: “But wait, I thought this was near Birmingham, Michigan!” Hold onto your stuffing because we’re taking a little road trip. Bert’s Marketplace is actually about 25 miles southeast of Birmingham, right in the heart of Detroit’s Eastern Market district. Don’t worry. It’s worth the drive – trust me, your sides will thank you later (from all the laughter, not the extra helpings of pie).

What’s Cookin’ at Bert’s?

Bert’s Marketplace isn’t just any old venue. This place is a Detroit institution that has been serving tasty BBQ and soulful tunes for over 30 years. Picture this: 24,000 square feet of pure entertainment, with walls covered in murals that tell the story of Detroit’s rich history. It’s like stepping into a funky time machine with better food and fewer paradoxes.

The Main Course: Comedy

The Thanksgiving Funny Fest is bringing together an array of comedic talent that’ll have you laughing harder than your uncle after his third helping of turkey. Hosted by the dynamic duo of Toney Roney and Krack Jokers, this show promises to deliver more punchlines than your grandma’s famous stuffing has bread cubes.

A Feast for the Funny Bone

What can you expect at this comedy cornucopia? Well, imagine a buffet of humor with all the fixings:

  • Stand-up comedians serving up hot, fresh jokes
  • Hilarious skits that’ll make you snort-laugh (don’t worry, we won’t judge)
  • Improv performances that are crispier than the skin on a well-roasted turkey

And the best part? It’s all happening in a cozier venue than your favorite pair of post-Thanksgiving stretchy pants.

Why Choose Laughter Over Leftovers?

By Saturday, you’ll have eaten enough turkey sandwiches to last you until next Thanksgiving. Why not trade in those leftovers for some fresh laughs? Here’s why the Thanksgiving Funny Fest should be on your menu:

  1. It’s a great way to burn those extra calories (laughing counts as cardio, right?).
  2. You’ll finally have something to discuss besides Aunt Edna’s dry turkey.
  3. It’s the perfect excuse to escape your relatives (we won’t tell if you don’t).

The Cherry on Top

Oh, and did we mention it? This gut-busting gathering is proudly featured in our Thanksgiving Guide 2024. It’s like the comedy equivalent of making it onto Santa’s nice list, only funnier and with fewer elves.

The Nitty-Gritty Details

  • Date: Saturday, November 30, 2024
  • Time: 7:00 PM – 10:30 PM EST
  • Location: Bert’s Marketplace, 2727 Russell Street, Detroit, MI 48207
  • Age Restriction: 21 and over (sorry, kids, this turkey’s for the grown-ups)

Tickets and Refunds

I know what you’re thinking: “This sounds amazing, but what if I change my mind?” Well, fear not, my fickle friend! You can get a refund up to 7 days before the event. After that, you’re committed – kind of like that time you promised to finish all the leftover green bean casserole.

The Final Slice

So, there you have it, folks – the Thanksgiving Funny Fest at Bert’s Marketplace. It’s the perfect recipe for post-holiday fun: take one part of Detroit history, add a heaping helping of comedy, and garnish with a dash of BBQ aroma. Mix well, and you’ve got yourself a night that’ll be more memorable than that time Uncle Bob fell asleep face-first in the mashed potatoes.

Don’t miss out on this chance to laugh your giblets off. Grab your tickets, gather your least annoying relatives, and prepare for a night of comedy that’ll make you feel more joy than your Thanksgiving turkey. After all, laughter is the best medicine – unless you’re trying to cure hunger, in which case, maybe stick to the leftovers.
