James Cook's journal entries from 1778 mention fleeting glimpses of a strange, mermaid-like creature with the tail of a fish and the head of a bird, which hypnotized his crew with its amusing jokes, stories, and observations.
Was this creature you?? Come and prove it at Anchorage's classiest comedy open mic, hosted in the Whale's Tail bar inside the Hotel Captain Cook! We're here every first Thursday through the winter.
7pm signup, 7:30pm show.
