Charlie Goodnight's sold

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on February 3rd, 2006

One of the “Ten great places to sit down and watch standup,” according to the April 1, 2005, USA Today article (that was built solely from information and pithy quotes supplied by this publication), has been sold. The Raleigh News & Observer story says that:

Brad Reeder, a standup comic who broke into the business by performing tableside magic tricks at Goodnight’s while in college, bought the club last month. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Reeder also owns Laff Trax in Nags Head, and he operates an entertainment booking business.

Goodnight’s was founded in 1983 by Tom Williams, who ran the club for two decades before selling it to Reeder. In that time, Goodnight’s became an established stop on the standup circuit. The list of comedians who have performed at Goodnight’s includes Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Robin Williams, Dave Chappelle, Ray Romano and Ellen DeGeneres.

(Full disclosure: The editorial staff of this publication– both of us– will be headlining there March 16-19.)
