Last night E and I dined and reveled in the tent of delicious hilarity at San Francisco's Teatro ZinZanni. Housed in an authentic, turn-of-the-20th-century spiegeltent (tent of mirrors) on San Francisco's Pier 29, Teatro ZinZanni is like no other dinner show that I've seen in California.

Currently running is the Egyptian-themed "Love, Dinner and Chaos," an interactive course of comedy, cabaret, cirque and cuisine. "Chef Caesar" (Frank Ferrante) leads guests through this five-course gourmet meal with snappy set sketches played with remarkable improv against ordinary folks pulled from the room.

The comedy intertwines with the world-class circque performers who dance, twist, climb, caress and clown through the three-hour performance. Visit the cast page here to see an example of the talent that plays under the Teatro ZinZanni spiegeltent.

If you're planning a trip to San Francisco, you can take advantage of this amazing offer of accommodations at the Handlery Union Square Hotel and two seats at Teatro ZinZanni, plus a few other perks in the package.

I'll write more about Teatro ZinZanni in an upcoming edition of the Press-Enterprise. Watch for it.
