Politics with a Punch

forget; free valet parking at the Eiffel Society!

Join us on Thursday December 8 for another unforgettable edition of Politics with a Punch, our local version of “Politically Incorrect.” It is a fast-paced, free-wheeling, no-holds barred discussion of what is happening in our city, state and nation with host Jeff Crouere. We place a premium on having a good time and expect plenty of laughs as we discuss the controversies and the outrageous antics of our local leaders and scoundrels.

We are excited to announce that our next show is the fifth one of our 10th season and will be held at the beautiful Eiffel Society, 2040 St. Charles Avenue . This is one of our favorite venues, formerly known as the Cricket Club. It has been recently renovated and looks outstanding. Join us for this special program and enjoy another fabulous panel.

The doors open at 6 p.m. for Punch Happy Hour as the Eiffel Society bar will offer a delicious menu of specialty drinks for our patrons. During Punch Happy Hour, we are honored to present the incomparable Armand St. Martin, the “Piano Man” who will entertain us in his unforgettable style. Also, panelist Robyn Walensky will be signing copies of her new book, “Beautiful Life?” the CSI behind the Casey Anthony trial. A portion of proceeds will be donated to the OC Sheriff’s Office ‘Children’s Safety Village ‘ for purchase of fingerprinting kits for kids. As an added treat, dining will be available for our patrons at the Eiffel Society. After our event ends, we invite you to stay with us for cocktails and socializing with our fellow patrons and panelists.

Our show will begin at 8:00 p.m. As usual, we have picked an outstanding panel with some of our favorite all-stars plus some exciting newcomers. Check out our exceptional line-up of celebrities:

Mikko, Actor, Comedian and Playwright
Chris Rose, Author, Columnist, Commentator, Fox-8 TV
Sid From Gentilly, Legendary Talk Show Caller
John Slade, Radio Talk Show Host, WBOK 1230 AM
Vince Vance, New Orleans Original & Musical Genius
Robyn Walensky, Anchor/Reporter for Glenn Beck Radio Show

With the Saints on a roll; LSU-Alabama rematch; the Occupation ending at City Hall; Cain Train derailing; Gingrich riding high; New Orleans named “strangest city” in America; Mayor Mike Yenni pleading no more “Kenna bra;” Jefferson Parish indictments; David Duke arrested and Tebow delivering touchdowns for Jesus, there will be plenty of great topics. As always, it will be a Prime Time for Punch!

With so much serious discussion, it is helpful once a month to be able to poke fun at some of the hilarious, insane and unpredictable events which occur in this state. Since 2002, along with Steve Sabludowsky of Bayoubuzz.com, I have been a part of one political tradition that has grown into quite a success story.

In our nine years of existence, we have featured some of the top political, business, comedic, media and entertainment talent in Louisiana . I am honored to host Politics with a Punch, an event which has attracted sell-out crowds for the past several years.

Tickets are only $15.00 per person/$25.00 per couple.
At Punch, we guarantee everyone will have a good time, and anyone who has attended one of our events can attest to that fact.

For more information, call me at #504-669-6076.

Thanks again for your support of Politics with a Punch. Without you and other friends, we could not have such successful events each and every month. Hope to see you Thursday night at the fabulous EIFFEL SOCIETY! For sponsorship of the event and advertising opportunities, contact Rev.
