Comedy Night at Canyon Ferry Brewing
Dee Gannon
Canyon Ferry Brewery is a funny place. At least once a month they have comedians to entertain while patrons enjoy one of the seven or eight beers on tap, brewed right on site. Non-drinkers can enjoy their brewed root beer (even a float).
Kaiser Leib, (who used to live in Townsend, now of Helena) has booked about 40 comedy nights in the three years that Canyon Ferry Brewery has been open.
Sunday night, September 18, the patrons upstairs got a big bang for their bucks ($10). Kaiser Leib opened the show with a few observations; paving the way for Garrison Choitz, who provided ten minutes of laughs, warming us up for the headliner, Michael Glatzmaier.
Glatzmaier lives in Spokane but travels all over. The name of his current tour is “I make stuff up” and he is right. This funny guy had the crowd in stitches just minutes after coming to the mic with his guitar. Four chords and fun, Glatzmaier played off of (and with) the audience. He laughed with the patrons about all of our faults and funnies. It was easy to relax and have fun while he strummed along to his self-deprecating stories. Time flew by too fast; soon it was time for him to step down. Beers were finished and we made it downstairs (glad for that handrail) safely.
Canyon Ferry Brewery’s upstairs venue is small, with seating for about 30 if you’re friendly. It’s the perfect venue for comedy nights, family nights, birthday parties, and whatever you’re up to doing.
Comedy nights are the last Saturday of the month; the next one is Saturday, September 24. Everyone is invited to come in and have a beer and a belly laugh.
