And we know Magooby's Joke House isn't a restaurant, although the comedy club does have a packed schedule of Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve activities. On Christmas Eve the club will be hosting Comedy Cantonese, a show featuring two Jewish headliners and a Chinese food buffet. And it's kosher!

For New Year's Eve the club will be upping its menu (from loaded fries, we joke) to full course meals and will feature a comedy show and drinking and dancing after.

For the full details visit Magooby's website here, although reservations for both nights are going fast.
