Spending a few days in Boston won’t be complete unless tourists have gone around and done a bit of savouring, and not just of the edible kind. Although seafood is firm favourite of Bostonians so is the traditional boiled supper which every tourist should try at least once.
Once the eateries have been sampled, another favorite indulgence is the variety of liquid refreshments that the many pubs and bars serve up. Even if it’s a week night the pubs are often over flowing with people especially the after-work crowd. Virtually, every corner of the city of Boston offers a casual pub, night club or lounge to unwind at.
As for entertainment the city is famous for comedy houses and among the popular ones the Mottley’s Comedy Club at Trinity is up there in terms of rib tickling, hysterical fun for hours.
The city is almost legendary for the comedic acts that perform in these clubs and at Mottley’s, the legends of comedy share the stage with new comers.
The club’s name is derived from a scenario which took place in the 1700s. A man by the name of Joe Miller having written tons of jokes dies in 1739 and there after John Mottley puts these jokes into a book titled ‘Joe Miller’s jests’. The book grew in popularity but Mr. Mottley always attributed the comedic genius to Miller when in actual fact he was illiterate. Mottley added more jokes till there were 1,300 of them in total. The jokes were so over used that by the 19th century the catch phrase to signify a stale joke was ‘A Joe Miller’. Although Mottley has little relevance to Boston, the story’s comedic subtleties and rustic old school charm is what caught the attention of its owners and hence the club was named.
Among the more popular comedians in the club’s line up, Carolyn Plummer is a crowd puller for her style of looking for humor in the ordinary every day hum drum of life. Carolyn who is a home maker and mother really knows how to laugh at what others would want to conceal and at the end of a hard day the audience is reeling in laughter.
It’s all the easier to get a good nights sleep once travelers have been fed and laughed their sides off, and what could be better than checking into some luxurious surroundings of one of the Boston hotels in the vicinity. The Langham Hotel Boston boasts of luxury accommodation and facilities which are the envy of other hotels in Boston.
