It has been two years since Orlando lost their IMPROV comedy club, and while visitors have still been able to entertain themselves at the Orlando theme parks there’s nothing like enjoying some good food and great laughs. Thanks to Pointe Orlando, comedy fans will once again be able to enjoy live music, amazing food and the hottest comedy acts from across the nation five nights a week at the brand new IMPROV. The menu is going to be centered on Louisiana Creole cuisine with a Gulf Coast/Louisiana-French style of cooking. You can look forward to chowing down on catfish, southern fried chicken and “n’awlins” barbecue ribs or lighter foods like salads. You can check out the full menu on the IMPROV’s website, but it’s still being developed as the club gets ready to re-open.

If you’ve never been to Pointe Orlando, it’s a wonderful outdoor group of shops and restaurants that offer everything from casual dining and shopping to the ultimate in luxury items and food. They already have great restaurants like The Oceanaire Seafood Room and Cuba Libre restaurant and rum bar. You can also shop at stores like Bath & Body Works, Armani Exchange and Hollister. For entertainment they have BB King’s Blues Club and a great IMAX theatre where you can catch the latest hit flicks, but once the IMPROV opens up in February of 2010 you will be able to stop by for some amazing comedy stars. We haven’t heard of any upcoming acts just yet, but we’re sure the name dropping will begin a little later in the year or right at the start of the New Year in January of 2010.

If you’re currently in the area and looking for nightlife options don’t forget you can check out Universal CityWalk for great shops, bars and nightclubs. CityWalk is located within walking distance of both Universal Studios and Universal’s Islands of Adventure. It’s always great to check out the parks during the day and head over to City Walk to relax for the night and enjoy some cocktails and a great dinner. So keep an eye out for news on the IMPROV and until then check out CityWalk!

Eating on the run is something many of us do way too often. We grab something quick on the way home from work for dinner, or on the way to work for breakfast. Where is the fun in that? Leave it to Orlando to take something as basic as eating and make it into an event worthy of buying Orlando dinner show tickets! Dinner theatre is no stranger to the Orlando area. There are various themed restaurants all over the city with themes to suit every preference.

There are a few constants in these Orlando dinner shows. The entrees usually consist of a beef, poultry or vegetarian option. If you have special dietary requests, it is recommended you call the show before you arrive to pre-plan your meal options, most places are happy to accommodate their guests! Unlimited non-alcoholic beverages are also included in the price of your dinner, and some shows will include basic alcoholic beverages like beer and wine with that unlimited option.

Those looking for some laughs can check out the Sleuths Mystery Dinner show, voted the best show in 2008 by readers of the Orlando Sentinel. You and your party will sit down with other guests to a “whodunit” show like no other. With 13 different comedy shows to offer, the Sleuths Mystey Dinner show is different every night. As for the food, you have the choice of a Cornish hen, prime rib or lasagna with unlimited soft drinks, juice, tea, wine and beer as well as a “mystery” dessert. Try not to get lost in your meal or you might just miss the most important clue of the night.

If you’re looking to get a taste of a faraway place while in Orlando, why not check out the Makahiki Luau at SeaWorld! This luau will take you to the beautiful islands of Polynesia as you feast on mahi mahi, sweet and sour chicken or BBQ spare ribs. Fire-dancers and hula girls dance around the theatre in honor of the Great Kahuna that oversees the show of the night.

Horse lovers and those wanting to immerse themselves in the greatest desert fairytale of all will enjoy Arabian Nights Orlando. USDA Sirloin steaks, chicken breast or a pasta bowl are on the menu of this location as the crowd enjoys the classic Arabian Nights love story complete with belly dancers. A dinner salad and dessert are also included, but the main attraction of Arabian Nights is its beautiful horses, including the famous Black Stallion from the classic movie.

No dinner theatre article can end without mentioning the classic Medieval Times Orlando. Cheer on your section’s knight in a joust as King Philippe and Princess Leonore watch over their crowd of royal guests. Dine on herb-roasted chicken, spare ribs or tomato bisque soup as the tournament goes on in the arena below. And yes, it is true you have to eat with your hands!

While there is never much question about what vacationers can do during the day in Orlando (Walt Disney World, SeaWorld, Universal Studios, etc., are the usual pastimes), many visitors aren’t sure what options there are in the way of nighttime fun in the city. After a long day of thrills and excitement at Orlando theme parks, visitors to Florida generally want to clean up, have a nice dinner, and then engage in something entertaining but relaxing. For this, we recommend a great Orlando show, such as Cirque du Soleil’s La Nouba. Exciting enough for youngsters who still have plenty of energy at the end of the day, yet a relaxing enough activity for wiped-out adults, La Nouba will entertain everyone in the family and make a great end to a fun summer day.

If you haven’t already seen La Nouba, you’ll definitely want to see this quirky and avant-garde spectacle, which is currently returning from a spring hiatus that lasted through a good part of May. Performances resume tomorrow, June 2, in Downtown Disney’s West Side, where the exceptional theater built especially for Cirque du Soleil resides.

The only resident Cirque du Soleil show in Orlando, La Nouba is a visually astounding show that will mystify with its daring and incredible acrobatic acts. The title derives from the French phrase faire la Nouba, which means “to party” or “to live it up,” and this is evident in the energetic and colorful show, which keeps the entertainment constant with moving live music, opulent sets, brilliant choreography, and continuous feats of strength and grace.

The setting of La Nouba is a wondrous new world where dreams clash with reality, where mundane mixes with the marvelous, and it’s no longer possible to tell where one ends and the other begins. As the show weaves its way through this alternative universe and its characters attempt to make sense of it, audiences will be thrilled by scenes and acts that are threatening and exhilarating, frightening and familiar, and overall, passionate and wonderful.

Like all Cirque du Soleil shows, La Nouba is particularly extraordinary for its international cast of acrobats, athletes, and performance artists. Cirque always assembles a phenomenal group of performers, and the women and men that make La Nouba magical are no different; with more than 65 artists representing 15 countries, the show features incredible acts of coordination, balance, and athleticism, from traditional circus acts like the flying trapeze, aerial ballet, and high wire to the German wheels, Diabolos, power track/trampoline, and balancing on chairs.

And if you’ve never seen a Cirque du Soleil show before, La Nouba is a great one to start with; it features a loose storyline with recurring characters who will puzzle you, tug on your heartstrings, and make you laugh. By the end of the show, visitors feel the full purpose of the show’s beautiful feats and whimsical characters, which is to prove that even the impossible is possible.

A memorable show that will certainly be a highlight of your Orlando vacation, La Nouba is just one of the many great nighttime activities in the city. And as with all your Orlando fun, you can save on discount Cirque du Soleil tickets right here on OrlandoFunTickets.com.
