Word on the street is that there’s a new club at the Universal Studios theme park in Los Angeles. We hear it’s run by the same folks who run the Bonkerz (with a “z”) in Orlando. This would follow, since the Orlando location is also at that city’s Universal Studios theme park. Here’s the email:
Bonkers Comedy Club is opening a new comedy club at Universal Studios City walk. Grand Opening night is the Friday, though they’re having a sneak preview night tonight for Universal Employees and their friends.
Click here for their website.
Word is that they’ll have a headliner, feature and emcee on Fridays and Saturdays and it will be a showcase room on Thursdays and possibly Wednesdays.
This is the first time in a while that SoCal has opened a new club. But it’s not the first time that there’s been a club at the Universal location. We seem to recall a room there, back in 1992 or so, a Catch, that never quite caught on and only lasted a coupla years, if that. We always found it to be rather somber and quite inconvenient to get to. So, apparently, did the customers. Let’s hope the Bonkers/Bonkers people can overcome that.
