Comedy, magic or a big production? A one-question test

Posted 2026-11-10

Here's the question. Don't overthink it.

At the end of the night, what do you want to say first?

"I couldn't stop laughing."

You want comedy. On this site that means Carrot Top (16 and up. Under 18 must be with an adult; ID required.), Tony n' Tina's Wedding (a wedding reception where you're a guest, dinner included) and Popovich Comedy Pet Theater for the all-ages crowd. See the full comedy list.

"How did they do that?"

You want magic. Mat Franco, Shin Lim, Penn & Teller, Piff the Magic Dragon and Now You See Me Live are all on the calendar. Small rooms feel personal. Big rooms feel like an event. The magic list has both.

"I've never seen anything like that."

You want a big production. O by Cirque du Soleil puts the stage underwater. KÀ by Cirque du Soleil spins the stage sideways. The Wizard of Oz at Sphere wraps the movie around you. Start with Acrobatic and Dance and Big Production.

"They played my song."

That's a headliner night. Barry Manilow: The Hits Come Home, Donny Osmond and Eagles at Sphere have dates on the calendar. Check the headliners list, and book early, because limited dates mean limited seats.

Still split?

Let the machine break the tie. Pull the handle and take the first pick that fits your group's ages and your dinner time.
