I'm recommending a Branson Show

For me this is a rarity as I rarely recommend anything unless it's in answer to a question but, we enjoyed this show so much I feel I should recommend it, especially since it's a new show this season.

This past weekend we were in Branson and decided it was time we started seeing more shows. We had only intended to see one show, which was Yakov Smirnoff (I recommend his showas well) but, at the end of his show he was promoting his new Yakov's Dinner Adventure. As an inticement, he was taking $15 off the price of the show for those who stopped by the box office and purchased tomorrow's show. It's timed at 4:45 and gets out by 7:00 so guests can make it to any 8:00 o'clock show they might already have scheduled.

So we bit and it turned out to be one of the better shows we've seen anywhere. If you're in the Branson area this summer I highly recommend this show. I even enjoyed the meal, which I can't say for all the dinner/show combinations we've seen in the past.

I'll tell you a secrete. If you want to see both shows, buy one and keep the time/day open for the other. When we attended Yakov's show, he offered to take $15 off the Dinner Adventure show. When we attended the Dinner Adventure show, they offered to take $15 off Yakov's show. The catch seems to be you have to buy tickets for the next show and not a show sometime later in the week.

I'll keep that in mind for this week next year.

We did Yakov...maybe 4-6 years ago I think. Enjoyed it. I suppose enough has changed that it may be worth going back.

We were at Pigeon Forge March 2010 and saw one of the characters from Yakov's show at the Comedy Barn show. I'll bet there is a lot of exchanges done between those locations and probably Myrtle Beach area.

Yakov's Dinner Adventure is presented by Yakov but, he's not in the show other than doing some narration from a video screen. It's a show he's promoting and is held in his theater but it's a completely different show.

Of course, if you see Yakov, he was making the $15 discount available if you purchased tickets to the next showing of his Dinner Adventure. At the end of the Dinner Adventure show they were also offering $15 discounts to see Yakov's show. Either way if you saw one show they offered the discount off the other show.

There's not doubt that a lot of the preformers go between different shows/locations. It's a tight nit small community of preformers where everyone knows everyone else. The main preformers in the Dinner Adventure were most recently doing an act on the Showboat Branson Bell in Branson.
