The only comedy club in my hometown has shut it’s doors.

I haven’t worked there in years, hell the last time I did perform there I was pretty much dragged off stage because I got too drunk and mouthy with the owner. It was hard to be motivated when no matter what you do you’re looked at as a local opening act… but it’s still sad to see another club shut down. I’m assuming the shitty economy is to blame. DAMN YOU GEORGE BUSH!!!  (Just kidding Bart! We know he was a great President! )

There’s lots of comedy clubs closing lately. A lot barely holding their head above water by closing on slower nights, reducing the number of comedians performing, and cutting advertising.

Hopefully they’ll be another club in town in the next year or two. With Ft. Bliss expanding and soldiers coming home I think El Paso has great potential for a live comedy venue. Hell, maybe if another club opens I’ll be able to perform there! Maybe even feature or headline like I do at other clubs.

Either way my best goes out to Bart Reed, his family, and the staff that have lost their jobs. Owning a business is not easy. Even when you’ve done it for a while.
