Open Mic Night
"I was a history major in college, which means you have two options when you get out of school. You can either teach history, or go on Jeopardy and hope for the best."
John Knight has been doing comedy for more than twenty years. He has been described as an every man storyteller with a deadpan cutting edge.
Knight has written for various television shows as well as being creator and writer of the Apocalyptic Al series for National Lampoon Magazine. John has hosted his own radio show, Saturday Morning Live. If you haven't caught him live, you may have seen one of his numerous television appearances including Comedy Central and Showtime. More info on John Knight online at: www.comedyknight.com
It's our birthday!!! Happy Birthday to us!
This week, the Joke Joint Comedy Club turns one year old. And to celebrate the milestone, we’ve officially moved into our new, larger showroom! With more space and better views, the stage is located further from the bar, and has fewer interruptions.
“Our first year was exciting. We hosted the Carnival Comedy Challenge. We've had nationally known comics grace our stage, and look forward to more this month with John Knight (above) and Diane Ford (May 9-10).”
Our old showroom seated approximately 150 people. Our new showroom comfortably seats over 180, and includes new premium booth seating.
We've also added other extras. We now provide corporate entertainment, providing comedians for private parties and holiday events. We provide non-celebrity roasts where seasoned comics help write and perform scathing comedy roasts, which are perfect for retirement parties, awards banquets or other noteworthy celebrations. 2008 also saw us start working with local fundraisers, dedicating certain nights to their benefits, or helping them raise money for their cause by helping them sell discounted tickets to the Joke Joint. We are the only club in town that offers hotel and show packages, along with dinner served during the show (not part of the package). And finally, we are the only club in town to offer a personal satisfaction guarantee on all of our shows.
NEXT WEEK:
Producer Rox Tarrant is excited to present Women Out All Night, starring comedy legend, Diane Ford. Diane is one of the country’s leading stand up comedians, touring over 300 days a year. She has been nominated for the American Comedy Awards 11 times and has over 200 national television appearances to her credit, including 3 HBO specials. Diane exhibits a dangerous and decidedly opinionated style.
Rhythm is the basis of Ford’s delivery, setting up a clash between her sweet, middle-class looks and her frank investigations into the small horrors of domestic life. Later this year, she will be touring with Wendy Liebman and Judy Tenuta, but now is your chance to catch her up-close locally.
Now in its twelfth year, Rox’s popular Women Out All Night comedy series has featured such well-known comics as Maxine Jeffris, Mary Mack, Shannon Paul, Jodie Maruska, Susie Saccoman, and Tammy Nerby. But don’t think this show is just for the gals. Women AND men come away from the show laughing and enjoying the unique and hilarious views on life shared by the comics - there truly is something for everyone!
Thursday May 8, 8:00 p.m.: Ten Talented Women special event comedy showcase. Catch 10 of the Twin Cities funniest comedians, all in one show! Hosted by Las Vegas favorite Bob Larson.
Friday May 9, Jazz & Comedy: Special pre-show Jazz event, featuring favorite local singer, Patty Peterson. Pre-show jazz entertainment, drinks, and appetizer specials from 6:30 to 7:45. Show time 8:00. Stand up Comedy Show starring Diane Ford, and featuring Rox Tarrant, Jodie Maruska and Molly Knefel.
Saturday May 10, Two Shows at 7:30 and 10:00. Stand Up Comedy Show starring Diane Ford and featuring Rox Tarrant, Susie Saccoman, and Brenda Elsagher.
