Action
Have a meal before you arrive at the club. The food options there are limited and cost more than they should. You stay focused on the performance instead of getting hungry halfway through. A light dinner works best.
Pro-Tip
Pick something that will not make you feel full or tired during the two hour show. Avoid spicy food that might cause discomfort later.
Spicy Twist
Cook a quick meal together at home before you leave for the club.
Action
Arrive twenty minutes before the show to select your table. Ask for seats in the center area for the best view. This position lets you see the stage clearly and feel part of the audience. Avoid the sides if you can.
Pro-Tip
Tell the host you are on a date so they might give you a better spot near the middle of the room.
Spicy Twist
Sit side by side so your shoulders touch when you laugh at the same joke.
