Politics with a Punch
Schedule
January 28th
Join us for another unforgettable edition of Politics with a Punch,
our local version of “Politically Incorrect.” It is a fast-paced,
free-wheeling, no-holds barred discussion of what is happening in our city,
state and nation. We place a premium on having a good time and expect plenty of
laughs as we discuss the controversies and the outrageous antics of our local
leaders and scoundrels.
We are
excited to announce that we have a new home for our monthly show, the fabulous BLUE ROOM at the
Roosevelt Hotel, 123 Baronne Street , New Orleans . Newly restored, the rebirth
of the BLUE ROOM is part of a
$187 million renovation of the Roosevelt Hotel, now part of the upscale
Waldorf-Astoria portfolio-(see attached photo).
The legendary BLUE
ROOM will be a historic setting for our show. This one of a kind
venue has featured celebrities such as Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles, Frank
Sinatra and Jimmy Durante. Dressed in deep blues and rich gold, this storied
space will once again welcome special performances as the new home of Politics
with a Punch.
The doors open at 6 p.m. for Punch
Happy Hour as the BLUE ROOM bar will
offer a delicious menu of specialty drinks for our patrons. As an added treat,
first class dining will be offered prior and during the show. After our event
ends, we invite you to join us for cocktails at the newly refurbished Sazerac
Bar.
For the added comfort of our
guests, the Roosevelt Hotel will offer valet parking. We also have secured
special parking arrangements across the street from the hotel at the AMPCO
System lot at 141 University Place . For all Punch patrons, the discounted
parking rate will be only $5.00 for the entire night. Just ask for the
special Punch parking ticket when you arrive at the show.
As usual, the show begins at 8
p.m. For our inaugural BLUE ROOM
performance, we have picked an outstanding panel with some of our favorite
all-stars plus some exciting newcomers. Check out our exceptional line-up of
celebrities:
Dawn Brown, Fox 8
Meteorologist
Jackie Clarkson, New Orleans Councilwoman at Large
Troy Henry, Candidate for Mayor of New Orleans
Duke LoCicero, Chef Cafe Giovanni
Blaine Kern, Mr. Mardi Gras
Eric Paulsen, WWL-TV News Anchor
Mike Strecker, Comedian
On our star studded show, we’ll
cover all of the major issues and controversies of the day in a light hearted
and humorous manner with our unique Politics with a Punch style.
Here are just some of the hot topics we will address:
With so much serious discussion,
it is helpful once a month to be able to poke fun at some of the hilarious,
insane and unpredictable events which occur in this state. Since 2002,
along with Steve Sabludowsky of Bayoubuzz.com, I have been a part of one
political tradition that has grown into quite a success story.
In our seven years of existence,
we have featured some of the top political, business, comedic, media and
entertainment talent in Louisiana . I am honored to host Politics
with a Punch, an event which has attracted sell-out crowds for the past
several years.
Tickets are only $15.00 per person/$25.00
per couple.
As usual, the doors open at 6 p.m. for happy hour, delicious appetizers and socializing. Our show starts at 8 p.m.
We have now enjoyed over seven years of poking fun at Louisiana politics. At Punch, we guarantee everyone will have a good time, and anyone who has attended one of our events can attest to that fact.
