Atlanta loses a club, gains a club

While Marshall Chiles announces the closing of his Funny Farm (shuttered because the entertainment complex it was housed in, Star Time, ceased operations), FOS Joe Satterfield has announced the opening of The Buford Variety Theater (click the link to see photos of the exterior and interior and become a Facebook fan).

So, Atlanta loses one club and gains another, almost simultaneously.

And the Punchline still rolls on.

And Chiles has taken to booking larger names into the Laughing Skull Lounge (at The Vortex, in midtown Atlanta).

Looks like comedy is the healthiest it’s been in Atlanta in a long time. (We remember when the city had Sandy Springs, North Lake, an Airport location– all three were Punchlines– and a revolving tenant at a comedy club venue in/near Buckhead! Circa 1989, perhaps?)
