If you like

to laugh, you may want to clear your calendar for Thursday, Feb. 7 and

every Thursday thereafter.

Hangar 74,

on Ga. Highway 74 just past Pike Nursery and Gold's Gym, has contracted

with the Comedy Zone to become part of the comedy national circuit. Beginning

the 7th, the club will offer dinner and comedy from 6:30 - 9:30 p.m.

The restaurant

is not ready to announce the big headliner yet, but general manager Mike

Cappella says he is working on getting some well-known names to help kick

off the new weekly dinner show.

The dinner

show will begin at 6:30, with a choice of three entrees such as chicken

cordon bleu, roast beef or vegetarian lasagna with all the fixings. The

comedy show will begin at 8 with two comedians performing until 9:30.

After the show the club will open to the public for three hours of karaoke.

Those who prefer

not to eat can purchase tickets for the comedy show alone. Prices are

$20 for the dinner show or $10 just for the comedy show. "Its affordable,

it's local and it's great entertainment without traveling to Atlanta,"

Cappella said.

The new Comedy

Night is Cappella's brainchild. Cappella traveled the comedy circuit at

one time with comedian friend Phil Kelly, playing backup for some comedy

routines. He said it has always been his dream to open a comedy club.

"This

is going to be absolutely great," he said. "I think it's a wonderful

idea to have something like this in the area. It's my cup of tea, too."

The comedy

offered by the professional comedians will be "clean comedy,"

Cappella promised. The pub will be smoke free during the dinner comedy

show.

Hangar 74 is

owned by Peachtree City residents Mark and Tina Aasen. It is primarily

a sports pub with an aviation theme understandable given Mark's profession

as a Delta pilot. The couple opened the club as a result of a desire to

provide the area with something they missed, a neighborhood pub.

Tina, originally

from Chicago, helped model the club after the many neighborhood pubs she

was familiar with in her hometown. Mark noted that the pub, as they call

it, has been through an evolution since opening a year ago under a different

name. He feels they now have it "looking like we wanted." Watch

closely for more changes based on input from the clientele.

The club has

14 TVs and a big screen. Cappella said, "We have great food, great

prices and a friendly atmosphere. We also offer a different venue on different

nights." Tuesday night is ladies night and aviation night. Specials

are offered, as well as gun camera video games. War movies are the feature

show on the club's big screen Tuesdays.

Karaoke is

the flavor of the night Wednesdays from 8 p.m. to midnight. The karaoke

team from "It's Your Time Karaoke," featuring more than 5,600

songs, helps entice those who've always wanted to sing up onto the stage

for a song or two.

Friday nights

the Hangar brings in a love band from the area. The owners will soon add

a dance floor for those who like to dance. Saturday night is karaoke again

from 8 p.m. to midnight.

According to

Cappella, "Tickets are on sale now at the Pub for the first show

and they are going fast. We have limited seating so get yours early."
