I was visiting family in Anchorage who insisted I *had* to see the show at the Fly By Night Club. Â So we went, ate good food, drank some good drinks, and had a great time. I tried the Moose Milk at the insistence of a family member. Â It was pretty good. Â The drinks came with these cute little plastic toys on them. Â Like plastic swords, only camels and things instead. Â
The show was hilarious. Â We were in tears laughing so hard. Â At some point in the show I ended up on stage wearing a giant foam poop helmet, and I have a souvenir Polaroid to remember it by. Â I also got some really neat souvenirs in the gift shop.
If I lived in Anchorage and had out-of-town visitors, I would definitely take them to see Mr. Whitekey's show at the Fly By Night Club. Â It was a riot.
Sadly, after more than 26 years of being amusing, they closed back in 2006. Â I hear that Mr. and Mrs. Whitekeys went their separate ways, which pretty much ended the show. Â It's too bad, because the whole act was great and I regret I can't recommend it to people now because it doesn't exist anymore.
I wish someone would open a joint like that here. Â I bet it would go over really well. I don't know how well an imitator could pull it off, though. Â It was pretty unique. Â Like if Weird Al had a night club where he performed snarky songs and made fun of local politics and gossip.
