Tips for friends 3 – Stand up at Union Scene
We can’t guarantee the jokes are the best, but that’s part of the fun!
There are many festivals in Drammen during summer and in winter they put up great concerts and plays at Union Scene. We suggest you bring a group of friends to a stand-up show – perhaps the jokes don’t always make the mark, but they are not dull at least! Comfort Hotel® Union Brygge
is located in the same block hence it is very neat to combine stand-up entertainment at Union Scene with a couple of comfortable overnight stays here.
