There it is, on page 3D, The 10 Greatest Places to Sit Down and Watch Stand-Up, with quotes from Brian McKim and Traci Skene.
A nice press-hit present for the sixth anniversary of the launch of this here publication (Ms. Goodfriend, the author got that wrong by just one teeny, tiny year. And, while we’re picking nits, we did not say that Richard Pryor got his start at the Laugh Factory! Other than that, nice job!) And just to clarify (and dispell the notion that we’re idiots): Under the paragraph that talks about Bear’s Place, it says, “We have to include a one-nighter…” and then it says that Bear’s Place has comedy two nights a week. Hmmm… The technicality is that it’s two one-nighters! They’re not on consecutive nights, so we’re still correct!
Scroll down for your chance to play along at home! There are two postings below this one that solicit your opinion, dear reader, on what the greatest comedy clubs in America (past and present) are/were. Be nice! (And it might afford us all a chance to distract us from the sadness of the last 36 hours or so.)
