The Deal: Comedians Cee Jay (headliner), Dan Ellison and Carlos Valencia spread laughter at LKN Comedy Zone (in Galway Hooker) on July 15th.
The Good: After a long day, it was nice to kick back and have a good laugh. The evening began with Carlos Valencia, who made a point to tackle exactly why some of his past relationships failed (one specifically being because of a girls “apocalyptic dumps” or just plain out not flushing the toilet). After Valencia’s short act, Dan Ellison (with his Southern speech) began his set, which focused on how everyone has done “stupid shit.” From werewolf believers to shoulder pads and speedo wearers he caused a cackle amongst the crowd. He also compared drugs being illegal to marriage and finished that thought by saying “marriage is the gateway drug to the poor house.” Finally after Ellison finished his act, Cee Jay took to the stage. The filled-room was laughing hysterically at most of his jokes, which covered a variety of subjects from times spent with grandma (who fed the kiddies stale food) to Jehovah’s Witnesses (sneaking around property), Yuengling beer (and its awful taste) and bath water (that burns the balls).
The Bad: A great comedy show. What else can I say?
The Verdict: Check out these guys the next time they hit up the Comedy Zone or another venue. Well, that is, if you want a good laugh.

LKN Comedy Zone is well worth the time to check it out. The only draw back was the service. I’m still waiting for my dip with my calamari. Eat before you go, the food is OK but nothing special; typical pub grub. Drinks are, of course, great (It’s an Irish bar duh). Tip: when you order drinks at the Comedy Zone – order your drink and when you get it order your next one or you will be looking at an empty glass, don’t do that at an Irish Bar- they will burn you at the steak!! haha
I am a frequent customer at the Comedy Zone in Lake Norman, they have always done a great job with my groups and i always have at least 6-8 people with me when we go. Drinks are always great, but the food is what is amazing. It is anything but typical, they have the best food in Lake Norman easily, and possibly some of the best food in all of charlotte. I think its the best thing going, a good laugh, a cold beer, and a great meal…in a great atmosphere!
Update- Half of my group went back to the comedy zone last night. We got a sorry and much better service this time, thank you. Johnny Beehner why are you not a headliner?? You were great!
Jeremy, “…best food in Charlotte”? What are you eating? Your diet must consist of Ramen noodles and left over Burger King. I ate there and had their nachos, and they were anything but amazing. If that is the best food in the Lake Norman area then fly me to Somalia for some scrumptious mud and sticks.
I’ll have you know that Somalian food is quite tasty!
