Just spotted this advertisement online:
New York Comedy Club, in Manhattan, is seeking people interested in producing shows at our venue. Primetime Friday and Saturday nights available. Top producers receive 100 per cent of box office. No rental fee. At New York Comedy Club, you will never be forced to add guest spots on your show. You control the entire lineup. New easy going management team. Dates going quickly. For booking info, contact Al Martin (718)979-9898.
You may recognize Martin’s name– he’s one of the principles in the new Improv in Manhattan. Perhaps he’s “repurposing” his New York Comedy Club instead of turfing it altogether. Whatever the case, it sure beats the hell out of a “bringer” show, which, as readers of this publication already know, we regard as evil. For further details on the venue, at 241 E. 24th St., see the club’s website.
