Comedian Chris Champagne and entertainer Philip Melancon host “Ray Nagin: The Going-Away Party” on Sunday, May 26 at the Columns Hotel, 3811 St. Charles Ave.

Comedian Chris Champagne

It’s billed as a “long-deserved laugh at the legacy of Mayor C. Ray Nagin’s administration.” High time to poke fun at the high (and low) jinks and cronyism of his administration. Admission is $15. Reservations: (504) 330-9117.
