New Venue "The Complex"

This Tuesday 15 or so local comedians showed up to the first open mic at a new live music and performing arts venue in downtown Salt Lake City, "The Complex". The room set up for comedy nights fits an intimate sized crowd of 200, but the cool thing about this venue is that it has 4 different sized rooms. The same people who book Saltair and The Avalon are booking bands and DJ's for The Complex. There are many artists out there who will draw different sized crowds and you don't want to put 200 people into a room designed for 1200. The largest room at The Complex seats 2500.

The comedy shows are set up for Tuesdays and Thursdays right now. Tuesdays are open mic and you can look up Ben Fuller on Facebook to sign up if you are interested. Or if you want to see a variety of working comedians you can go on Thursdays, shows start at 7:30 and go tell whenever the show ends.

I'm working on a new joke that I tried at open mic this week, "I want to create a reality TV show called 'Kingdoms at War' where groups of people are given Kingdoms to Take over. And here comes the punchline...ready, as the producer I would keep the 'Royalties' HA! get it?"

Anyways puns are the lowest form of comedy they say, but when you can't think of a fart joke, a good pun works great with drunk crowds. Here's a new sports joke for all you soccer fans out there...if you love soccer you'll love my comedy cause I have one really good punchline every 45 minutes.
