Comedy 1 - Comedy 2
Have you ever heard of Jerry Seinfeld, Rosie O'Donnell, Chris Rock, Robin Williams, or
Ellen DeGeneres? Chances are, you have and could name a TV or movie that they have
been in. These famous comedians all got their start in comedy clubs. Stand-up
comedians spend their careers traveling from club to club, hoping to build a fan
base. If they are lucky, someone with Hollywood ties notices them and can help
them break into TV or movies.
There are thousands of comedy clubs all over the United States, some are owned by a large
company, others are more independent in nature. Either way, they try to gain business by
attracting up-and-coming talent to their club, guaranteeing a packed club. Many clubs
specifically advertise that a famous comedian got their start in the club, or that someone
has been known to drop by from time-to-time. Rubbing elbows with someone famous is always
an incentive for people to check out a comedy club.
Comedy clubs can be good moneymakers as well. The admission to a club can range in price
from free to $5-$20+ a night. You are also required to make a minimum drink purchase in
some clubs. Most of the time, the money is well spent. A night at a comedy club can be
a nice departure from a typical dinner and a movie date. The atmosphere centers around
having a good time, so making this a first date with someone could be just the way to go!
If you are interested in going to a comedy club, you can usually hear advertisements for
them on the radio. Otherwise, try looking in the phone book or typing "comedy club" and
your geographic location in a search engine to see what pops up. Who knows, maybe the
comedy club will become your new standard date rather than dinner and a movie!
