He Did It
Comedian Benny Elbows broke the world record for longest stand-up comedy show at the Hi Tone last weekend. He started close to 6 a.m. last Friday and told jokes for 40-plus hours, ending his show after 10 p.m. last Saturday. Sunday night, Elbows said on Facebook, “I’m awake and I went to Costco.”
Zoom Over the Zoo
The Memphis Zoo’s new Zoomazing Race: Predator vs. Predator, a thrilling dual zip line ride, opened last weekend.
“Like many leading zoos across the country, we are evolving to offer dynamic experiences that appeal to all types of guests, from wildlife enthusiasts to thrill seekers,” the zoo said in an Instagram post.
A single ride is $10 but rides are also available in certain ticket and membership packages.
