Well, it turns out 7456 Melrose Ave. is closing its doors (well, part of its doors since it’s kind of a theater complex) once again for a full time comedy venue. The Comedy Nook rose out of the ashes of what the pandemic hath wrought on local businesses, especially live performance venues that had go darker far longer than many other places. Many open mics and intimate shows took the stage at The Comedy Nook over the years thanks to the hard work and dedication of Nthenya Ndunda and Alexis Bradby.

Sadly, after two years and some change, The Comedy Nook is indeed closing down, but they won’t do so without a big party this Wed. Jun. 28th from 7:30PM-10:30PM where you can (and should) pay your respects (as well as enjoying DJ’ing from Bri Giger and some tasty tacos that you can get via donation).

It’s free to attend, but you should probably RSVP (so they make sure they can make enough tacos).
