Laugh it upIt’s a stressful time of year, so feel free to laugh your ass off at Laugh Therapy, an open mic night of stand-up comedy at The Irish Embassy Pub. Laugh it up for some festive jokes or maybe even join in on the fun yourself and sign up to tell your own jokes. The plus side of you most likely publicly humiliating yourself is that you’ll get a free drink ticket for performing. So, what do you have to lose? Either way, be sure to take a break before the holidays get too hectic and catch a few laughs at the show.

The rambling bandDurango music staple Blue Moon Ramblers are continuing their tradition of rocking out at the Diamond Bell Saloon. These five musicians have all been performing for about 40 years in Colorado, and this is their 26th year of performing at the Strater Hotel’s Diamond Belle Saloon. There’s no one genre this band abides by, so if you enjoy a little bit of everything when it comes to music, the Blue Moon Ramblers may have just the tunes for you.

Booze for ya gamesFour Leaves Winery and Conundrum have teamed up to offer evenings of fun, games, and, of course, some booze. The staff at Conundrum picks three to four games that you can sign up to play, and if you don’t know how, not to worry! The Conundrum staff will teach you their ways. And, the best part? Attendance is free AND you can enjoy a glass of wine or two (though, that ain’t free) whilst relaxing amongst friends.
