Cabaret, Supper & Comedy Clubs

Home Alone: The Australian Musical Parody is a bold, cheeky, and completely original Aussie take on the classic film. Packed with hilarious moments, over-the-top characters, and brand new original songs, it delivers chaos, charm, and plenty of “did they really just say that?” surprises. It’s clever, energetic, and fun for the whole family — even Dad. A big, joyful Christmas comedy that turns a beloved favourite into a fresh theatre hit.

**Tania Doko returns to LOEV, where it all began.** The quirky, retro warehouse venue in Moorabbin holds a special place in Tania’s heart — not only was this bay side suburb her old stomping ground, LOEV also hosted her *Beauty’s in the Broken* EP launch two years ago. That offering marked her emotional homecoming to Melbourne from Sweden, and now, after a whirlwind run with the Bachelor Girl *Redux* tour and upcoming 2026 album, it’s time to revisit Doko world once again — right back where it started. Just a handful of days before Christmas, and flanked by great muso friends Janine Maunder (keys, vocals) and Danny Spencer (guitar, vocals), Tania will dive into her eclectic catalogue, stories and heart — all wrapped in the spirit of Chrissy good vibes.

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!

Welcome, readers! ❄️ Our December read is **_A Quiet Life by Ethan Joella._** A Quiet Life by Ethan Joella is a tender, character-driven novel that follows three people in a small Pennsylvania town as they each cope with loss and seek connection. Chuck, a widower, struggles to find meaning after his wife’s death; Ella, a young woman, faces the heartbreak of her missing daughter; and Kirsten, a veterinary technician, grieves her father while contemplating her future. Their stories intertwine gently, revealing how grief and hope coexist—and how even small acts of kindness can help people rediscover purpose and peace in the aftermath of tragedy. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! At this meeting, our third annual White Elephant book exchange will take place! If you'd like to participate, bring a gift-wrapped book that you already own. On the gift wrap, write the genre of the book. We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖
