What’s So Funny About Rhode Island?

Friday, October 23, 2026 · 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM

Dinner & a Show Only in Rhode Island can politics, potholes, clam cakes, corruption, coffee milk, and somebody’s cousin from Cranston all somehow end up in the same conversation. Charlie Hall and Frank O’Donnell, two of Rhode Island’s legendary comedians, are back to take aim at the people, places, headlines, and everyday absurdities that make the Ocean State such a special place to call home. And since nothing in Rhode Island happens without food, Chef Ralph Battista has created a special family-style Supper Club menu inspired by the flavors, traditions, and local favorites of Little Rhody. Frank and Charlie will serve up the yucks. Chef Ralph will serve up the yum. No political promises. No recounts. Just a great meal, a lot of laughs, and a night that could only happen in Rhode Island… at Luigi’s Course 1 “The Old Neighborhood Board” Warm Bakery Pizza Strips Mini Stuffies – Quahog, chorizo, peppers, onions seasoned bread stuffing.
