  3. 54 Celebrates Mel Brooks


Got High Anxiety over the winter? Well, Springtime with Mel Brooks is coming! Why not join us for a roll in the hay and a preview of History of the World Part II. Giddy up on your Blazing Saddles and join us for a night of hilarity! Seriously, bring 11 friends and we’ll have Twelve Chairs waiting for you. Remember this is a live cabaret and not a Silent Movie – so, screw To Be Or Not To Be, the question is will you be there?


Back after two sold-out nights of hilarity in 2020 and 2022! Join us at 54 Below as we celebrate the incomparable Mensch of Comedy! Expect to hear hits like, “Springtime for Hitler,” “High Anxiety,” “Men In Tights,” “Roll In The Hay,” and more!
