K.C. gets a third comedy club
The Kansas City Star reports that K.C. will be a three-club city (Free reg. req.):
…That’s because former Stanford’s GM Troy Winter and backer Don McAfoos are about to re-open the former Jester’s (and before that Stanford Glazer’s) comedy club at Metcalf South under the name Funny Farm.
“We’re opening up Wednesday,” Winter says. “We’ll have a free show at 8 p.m. All you have to do is buy your drinks, and the first 320 people get in free. Then we open up Thursday with Greg Giraldo.” […]
Strange market, that K.C. With the addition of a third club, at 320 seats, and 250 at Stanford’s and probably 400 at that town’s Improv, there’ll be nearly 1,000 seats available for comedy fans at 8PM on a typical weekend night. This oughta be interesting. In K.C., it always is. (We hazily recall stories a few years back of comedy clubs opening here and there, closing, lawsuits, intrigue, recriminations, general confusion, etc. We suspect we haven’t heard the last of this story. Stay tuned.)
