Reno– the biggest little comedy city…

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on June 30th, 2005

Who is in town this holiday weekend? We’re glad you asked. Well, over at the Catch A Rising Star at the Silver Legacy is Charlie Weiner and Brian McKim, of course. And across the street and down a block or two is D.C. Malone and Adam Stone at the Just For Laughs in the Sands Regency. Harrah’s Reno has Ron Pearson, Andy Campbell and Amy Anderson at the Improv. Comedy Comedy, at the Reno Hilton, lists Donald Lacy, Claude Stuart and Mike Van Kirk.

Down the road, around Lake Tahoe, the Improv at Harvey’s Lake Tahoe lists Allan Havey and Aaron Kader.

We’ve had decent sized crowds the last two nights. There’s a huge volley ball “festival” lodged here and this weekend, there’ll be a heavyweight title fight between… well, between two huge people we’ve never heard of. We’ve lost track of heavyweight contenders. And we’ve also lost track of sanctioning bodies. (Things started to get a little ridiculous a little while back with regard to boxing titles… We half expect to wake up and find ourselves to be in contention for a heavyweight title or two!)

The Legacy is sold out, so we expect the crowds to get even larger. We’re gigging through Sunday, staying over Monday (July 4th!), then heading back east for our date in Pontiac, IL, on the 9th! Stay tuned.
