Vegas Sun's Laugh Lines columnist exiting

We’re not too happy to report that Lisa Ferguson is filing her very last Laugh Lines for the Las Vegas Sun. The column appeared every Friday and featured profiles, interviews, bits & pieces about standup comedy in Las Vegas and elsewhere. Too bad! Ferguson was one of only a handful of columnists in North America who actually wrote regularly (and with deep knowledge of, and appreciation for) standup comedy. (The only others that come immediately to mind are the Boston Globe’s Nick Zaino and Bill Brownstein of the Montreal Gazette. We’re trying to find out if the Sun plans to continue with Laugh Lines. We’ll keep you posted. (The above link goes to last week’s installment of Laugh Lines, a profile of comic Don Barnhart).
