Best bet: Comedy at Schock's Pub

Schock's Pub will be busy this weekend. Today, the Scott City bar hosts Rockface Barband. Saturday, the pub ventures into the world of comedy with a performance by LongHorn the Comedian and Richard Cason. LongHorn works out of St. Louis, but comes as a true cowboy comedian with hat, boots and hilarious jokes. He has opened for D.L. Hugley and other mainstream comedians. He performed in Cape Girardeau at Pitter's when it was the Mississippi Mud House. Cason, a Southeast Missouri native, emcees events and comedy nights with his own satirical style. He will be the special guest at this comedy night. Doc Dave will host the event, which starts at 9:30 p.m. at Schock's Pub. The bar is hosting the comedy night with no cover and has organized for $10 limo rides from Cape Girardeau to the event and back. Call 573-587-1404 for more information or to schedule the limo.
