Hey, Wouldn't be Truly Great, If!

Wouldn't be a great idea if comedy clubs popped up and down 79Th Street in Chatham to give people a fun place to go and venues for upcoming talent and the community to free itself of the blight?

This is a big joke. A promotion group has been trying to purchase the Buckwheat lounge on 79th and came to CAPCC and they blew theses guys off. Secondly, several of the block clubs along 79th do no want to see any additional venues(i.e. 79th Evans).

There are venues that offer comedy shows and other live entertainment. The "East of the Ryan" has and continues under new management to offer a variety of entertainment and Curt's BBQ offers live entertainment.

I think the writer needs to get out more.

It's not a crazy idea...The north side (in some neighborhoods) are known for sports bars...why not Chatham for something other than fish & chicken places?

There ARE Christian comedians, and have had concerts in Chicago. so you could theoretically have some here.

We have lots of talent, so there might be lot of opportunities for "amateurs".

What else are you gonna put there? i have heard a lot of what neighborhood does NOT want. Until someone steps up and actually brings in something "the community" (which i suspect can be at times a loud few) actually wants (whatever that may be), we will have these other ideas tossed out there.
