Free Range by Bill Whitehead for October 31, 2023

It’s a modern day “spookeasy”.

“Woo hoo!” or maybe “Boo! Boo!”

Is there a cover charge?

Also known as Shiggles.

There’s nothing worse than telling a joke and getting dead silence from the crowd.

Bah. All they has is sheety jokes.

Laughed so hard, I stained myself.

It’s all sheets and giggles until someone giggles and sheets.

Is there a pun in “Sheets and giggles”? The individual words I get, though, but combined?

Brouhaha: Combination beer joint and comedy club.

That act killed.

The comedy here is to die for.

“I just flew in from the coast, and…well, no part of me is tired.”

If they bomb on stage is there a comforter ready?

It’s all giggles until someone actually sheets.

Someone up above (in these comments, I mean, not from the afterlife) was nice enough to explain the attempt at wordplay. Now would someone please explain the joke? (Do I have to point out that I’ve never met a ghost that actually wore a sheet?)

I assume there’s a cover charge?
