Venues Opnening and Closing

So the gig at A Bar Named Sue only lasted about a month. The gig at the Complex is still going on on Tuesdays nights though, and since they don't have to pay any of the comics there is not really much risk for them to keep it going. The payoff for the comedians is that hopefully they will build up the fan base for the shows and start paying the comedians. There is also a huge potential for seating capacity there, in the thousands! They are looking at booking bigger named comedians for their larger rooms. If and when they do that the local comedians will have an opportunity to open for the bigger names in front of much larger crowds than Utah comedians are used to having.

In other news, I landed a New Years Eve gig in a country club in Twin Falls Idaho. The last time I performed there it went really well and they put us up in a nice hotel. I'm also booked to headline the West Valley Wiseguys January 7th and 8th.

Comedy VS Football

Whenever football season rolls around you can see a drop in audience attendance on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday night.  Most comedians I talk to are pretty big fans of the game, myself included. It is America's most popular sport. So you would think I would have more football related jokes, but I don't. The only one I have is a pretty lame Micheal Vick joke. It's not even worth me typing it out here. As far as social cometary on the subject I could work on the premise of how popular the sport is but how non of the mother's want their boys playing the game. My wife pointed out how that might be different if they had woman's football and how many girls would love to tackle one another. Personally I would love to see more woman's football. The powder puff games were awesome! I would have been a bit intimidated though if they had girls football in high school to ever ask out the quarterback, especially if she was on steroids and had a mustache. Maybe I'm a bit shallow.
