Houston Laff Stop closing in about 14 hours

Word on the street is that Houston’s Laff Stop will close after tonight’s shows. We’ve never worked there, but it’s been around for a long time. And it had a good digital recording system. (Mitch Hedberg recorded a CD there, as did many others.)

There was a consolidation a while back. (The Stop bought the Spot?)

The Improv moved into the market some time ago.

The economy sucks.

Take your pick among the various excuses.
