Located at 9588 N. Kings Highway, this cozy venue is about to get lit with laughter, and it’s not just a random performance – it’s the second straight year that Bailey is bringing the funny during his annual golf trip with friends. Now that’s a way to score some extra laughs between golf swings!
A new tradition in the making!
Fans of Bailey will be delighted to learn that he hopes to turn this into a yearly tradition! After experiencing the warm vibe of the Comedy Cabana, he expressed his fondness for smaller venues that allow for a more intimate connection with the audience, giving you the chance to really feel the fun.
What’s Cash Cab all about?
For those not in the know, Ben Bailey isn’t just another comedian in a crowded landscape. He’s the face behind Cash Cab, a unique game show where unsuspecting cab passengers become contestants vying for cash prizes. This iconic show, which Bailey filmed in New York City for a whopping 15 years, was a game changer in TV history. He originally auditioned for the role back in 2005, and prior to his fame, had already been working as an actor and comedian for 12 years. Instead of the competitive edge some were hoping for, Bailey emphasized positivity and being friendly, ensuring it was always a good time for everyone involved.
Staying true to his roots!
In line with this upbeat attitude, Bailey maintains a lighthearted approach in his stand-up comedy as well. His sets focus on understandable and relatable topics filled with good vibes! Shying away from political humor, he believes comedy clubs are a place for enjoyment, steering clear of heavy discussions that can cloud the mood.
As Bailey preps for his upcoming show at the Comedy Cabana, he also plans to sprinkle in fresh material that could be featured in future online specials. His style? It’s all about “surreal observational” comedy with a side of silliness that resonates well with universal experiences and has the crowd laughing in no time.
Modern comedy challenges
While the world of comedy is evolving, and with social media filling the airwaves, it’s easier yet more competitive than ever to break through. Seizing the moment, Bailey released a stand-up special titled Please Tell Me What I Said on YouTube in 2024, granting him more control over his content and allowing him a unique voice without having to pitch to production companies.
Even after his rise to fame, Bailey remains selective about the roles he takes on. In a memorable guest appearance on 30 Rock, he showcased the Cash Cab in a storyline that had fans laughing all over again!
Event details!
If you’re itching to see Ben Bailey in action, tickets are available for just $40 and can be snatched up on the Comedy Cabana’s website. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. for the 7 p.m. show – perfect for a night of entertainment that’s sure to leave you smiling!
Don’t miss out on this chance to see Ben Bailey live. It’s a blend of comedy and camaraderie that promises to make October 16 a night to remember in Myrtle Beach!
