Staten Island’s Comedy Night Laughs in Midland Beach

Midland Beach yukked last night with Staten Island’s Comedy Night, joking NYC’s spring at a beachside bar. Comic Tariq Evans slayed sets as 200 howled, a $10 ticket bash of yuks. It’s borough laughs—pure SI vibe, mics hot. A kid pitched a gag; a pro bombed a bit. ‘Staten laughs—this is it,’ Evans says, tossing zingers. The room turned stage.

The night’s fresh—April 4’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing stools by 8 p.m. Evans, a St. George joker; last night’s crowd hit max—knees slapped. A latecomer nabbed a seat; beers flowed—NYC grit glowed. Runs one night—gags ruled. #SIComedy trended; Bronx wants a quip.

Some griped—’Too crude,’ sniped a stiff, dodging jabs. Mic buzzed—fixed quick; laughs held. A rival’s pitching a Tottenville roast, splitting bits. Still, 300 stayed—jokes reigned. Midland’s never laughed so bold.

Evans hints at a monthly run, maybe a pier if spring bites. ‘NYC’s funny—this proves it,’ he says, packing notes. The night’s a Staten win—grit meets guffaws. It’s a comedy rush; catch the next. Bring a pal—lines call.
