Not our cup of tea, but some people like to get "loosened up" and laugh at cliche sex jokes. I suppose whatever works.

We did enjoy the first part of the show. The music is good (live performances by two guys who can improvise well on the keyboards and sing). They go by "Dualing Pianos", but it's more like tag-team pianos.

As the crowd gets liquored up, the jokes get more raunchy, and the singers are encouraged to give larger tips in order to elevate their "favorite" higher on the request list. Tips seem to include money, as well as "favors".

I found it really interesting, but no desire to participate again.

BTW - if you're the least bit emotionally sensitive and given to a defensive mindset, don't go there and try to correct the entertainment. We saw three, 250lb+ bouncers desend on a 100lb 20-something, and shut her down and haul her out in mid sentence.
