New Comedy Club downtown

[RecycleMichael]

I just got home from the show at the new Comedy Club at the Brady theater and I had a good time.

The place is small, less than a hundred seats, but intimate works for comedy. I was also glad that it was all non-smoking.

There was a $10 cover, but no drink minimum. The soft drinks were $2, beer was $4, wine $5 and mixed drinks $6.

It was pretty standard fare with a brick backdrop, an opening comic, a featured comic and the headliner comic.

Tonight the headliner was Barry Friedman who lives in town and does a column for Urban Tulsa Weekly.

The first comic was part of the ownership group and did well. The second comic started slow, but finished off his act with some songs on his guitar and had some funny jokes. Barry Friedman had some friends in the audience that cheered him loudly when he walked on stage, and he converted the rest of the crowd very quickly and just had the audience rolling.

It was a great evening at the Brady theater. I was glad when I heard a new comedy club was opening and I think it is a perfect fit for the Brady area.

Lets all hope that they succeed in a very difficult business. We need more humor.
