NY Underground Fest exec will help run Factory

Just got this terse announcement over the cyber-transom:

The Laugh Factory NY is proud to announce George Sarris has come on board to help run the number one comedy clubs in the country (“USA Today”). Mr. Sarris is the Executive Producer of The NYC Underground Comedy Festival

Hmmm… Sarris will “help run” the Factory. Stay tuned.

And one more thing: The Factory persists in saying that USAToday proclaimed the Factory in Hollywood “the number one comedy club in the country.” This is, of course, a reference to the April 1 article in which the editors of this publication supplied USAToday with ten suggestions for “Ten great places to sit down and watch standup comedy.” Which we did. The Factory was listed first randomly. (There is some hope, though: The release refers to “the number one comedy clubs” with an “s” on the end of club… perhaps they had a twinge of honesty mid-sentence and almost typed the sentence using a far more honest qualifier “one of the…” We can only hope.)
