Comedy's not in Kansas (City) any more

According to KCStar columnist Hearne Christopher Jr., “For the first time in decades neither south Kansas City nor Overland Park has a front-line stand-up comedy club.” Fear not, say the owners of Stanford & Sons, they’re opening a new one in the western burbs of Wyandotte County.

“Let’s face it, that is the new entertainment district in Kansas City. It’s really going to turn our city around, and we’re glad to be a part of it. Wait till you see it– you’ll feel like you’re on a television or movie set.”

Is chicken wire a part of the new design? (We seem to recall an audio interview (on Cringehumor.com) with Rich Vos making the rounds a while back in which he described a chaotic fistfight in the front rows of Stanford & Sons. It seems K.C. comedy fans are always up for a good brawl!)
