Laughs and Slices Might Be Central Maine’s Best New Night Out

If your Thursdays have been feeling a little… predictable, there’s a new reason to get out of the house and actually look forward to the end of the week.

Because someone finally had the genius idea to combine stand-up comedy and wood-fired pizza.

It’s called Laughs & Slices, and it’s happening at Burano's Wood-Fired Pizzeria in Hallowell.

Comedy + Pizza = No-Brainer

Let’s be honest. There are very few situations in life that don’t improve with pizza. Add in live comedy, and now you’ve got a full-on event.

The night features stand-up comedians presented by the Great Falls Comedy Club, with seating and dinner kicking off at 6 p.m., followed by the show at 7.

So yes… you can be mid-bite of a ridiculously good slice while laughing your face off. That feels like a win.

It’s Actually Affordable Too

Tickets are just $20, which, in 2026, feels borderline suspiciously reasonable for a night out.

Food and drinks are available for purchase, so you can go all-in on dinner or just grab a drink and enjoy the show.

This Could Turn Into a Weekly Thing

Right now, there are a couple of upcoming dates, including April 16 and April 30. After that, the plan is to make it a regular thing, happening every second and fourth Thursday starting in May.

So yeah, this isn’t just a one-off. This has “new tradition” written all over it.

The Vibe Feels Right

Hallowell already has that perfect small-city energy for something like this. A little nightlife, a little personality, and now… comedy nights with pizza.

Honestly, it feels like one of those things where you go once just to check it out, and suddenly you’re texting friends like, “We’re doing this again next week, right?”

Because let’s face it. A Thursday night that involves laughing, eating, and not being stuck on your couch scrolling your phone?

That’s a pretty solid upgrade.
