How can women know exactly how men think? Will women ever truly understand male thoughts? Is it possible for women to think from a male point of view? Be careful what you wish for as the al-male comedy show How Men Think (or Do They?) is a hilarious peek inside the male mind. The comedy show returns to the MetroWest region at the Double Tree Hotel Boston-Westborough in Westborough on Saturday, March 2.
The all-new lineup for the March 2 show features actor-headliner Mark Scalia as host, Tim McIntire (Comedy Central), Dan Boulger (The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Comedy Central), show favorite Mike Cote (Days of Our Lives) and Al Park (Boston Comedy Festival).
“All of these guys are excellent comedians who cull material from their own lives,” said host Scalia. “We all work at comedy clubs, but when we’re together with this theme, and this expectation from the audience, it creates a very different vibe than what you get in a comedy club. At certain points, you’ll see women laughing as their husbands nod their heads in recognition. After the show, I’ll often have women come up to me in the lobby and tell me about something one of us said that mirrors behavior they’ve observed in the past from a boyfriend, husband, father or some other lughead in their lives.”
The show, which debuted in 2009, features a revolving lineup of male stand-up comedians who share different (but very male) observations on the world around them. Over the course of 95 minutes, they share their points of view on wives, mothers, friends, kids, careers, neighbors, growing older, love, lust, Internet dating and other things you won’t believe they’ve wasted time thinking about.
“It’s a really fun night,” said co-creator Lisa Knight from Drinkwater Productions, LLC whose company produces the show along with Scamps Comedy Productions. “Women really appreciate hearing these things coming from guys who have no ulterior motives and are just honestly trying to make them laugh. At one show, we had a table of women laughing hysterically, while next to them was a table of men ~ the husbands ~ also laughing, but with a little more sanity. In that case, social separation was the best recipe for a happy marriage.”
Tickets are $45 for the dinner show ~ dinner starts at 7 p.m. ~ and $25 for show only ~ doors open for show only at 8 p.m. Show starts at 8:30 pm. Advance tickets can be purchased at www.drinkwaterproductions.com.
