Comedy alive and well in Lincoln;
new club, more crowds appear
COMEDY from Page 11
they expect $10 worth of perform
ance, unfortunately. They figure that
they’re paying $9.25 a month for their
HBO and that’s where they’re going
to get their comedy,” said McMeen.
Duffy’s presents a “comedy work
shop” every other week, and the next
one is Oct. 3. Duffy’s began the work
shop after it quit bringing profes
sional comedy to the bar eight or nine
months ago. The workshop allows
people to get up and try out material,
as well as presenting ensemble skits
and improvisation. The workshops
are taped and some of the bits are
played on KZUM radio’s “Magic
Dragon Theater.”
There is no cover charge for the
workshops. McMeen said by the end
of the evening the bar is usually
packed and he said he has begun to
notice people coming regularly just
for the comedy.
McMeen said he has considered
presenting the workshop every week,
if the workshop ensemble can add
some members. Duffy’s also might
charge a small cover to give the
comedians some repayment for their
time.
The Des Moines restaurant was the
first to try a comedy club and Shaw
handles the booking for it and
Omaha’s Noodles club.
Jeff Weak, a comedian from
Omaha and former University of
Nebraska-Lincoln student, said that
Noodles’ opening is good for
Lincoln’s audiences and comedians.

Another local outlet for comedy i:
the Royal Grove Night Club at 340 W
Comhusker Hwy.
Although McMeen said he wasn’
sure how well Lincolnitcs could b<
lured out to the Grove’s location fo
regional comics, the manager of th<
Grove said that since Thursday’:
comedy night began about six month:
ago, the popularity of comedy nigh
has grown amazingly.
In fact, the Grove has been getting
an average of 300 people each Thurs
day for comedy—more than twice lh<
capacity of Noodles.
The club presents national circui
comedians and has presented big
name comics such as Jerry Scinfclt
and Carol Liefcrt.
Noodles, like the Grove, will only
present regional or national comics
although the club relies on locals foi
masters of ceremonies. The masters
of ceremonies introduce acts and car
present a few minutes of his or hei
own material.
Johnson said he will choose tht
masters of ceremonies, but the book
ing will be done by John Shaw, gen
oral manager of the Spaghetti Work:
restaurant and Comedy Club in De:
Moines, Iowa.
; ter named Rollin’ Ray, said the new
club gives local comics a chance to
tour the three Spaghetti Works loca
t lions, to have good audiences without
> hecklers, and to get several nights of
' work for each booking.
i Weak said he has done comedy
; since about 1980, and started out in a
► Lincoln bar called O.G. Kelly’s. He
! predicts a big resurgence in comedy
after the movie “Punchline” is re
; leased. “Punchline,” a film about
- stand-up comics, stars Tom Hanks
“ and Salty Fields.
When the national comedy club
1 chain The Funnybone opens in
; Omaha, local comics will be given
1 another chance to show their stuff,
Weak said.
Although more clubs are begin
ning to present comedy, rivalry is not
a problem. McMeen wished Johnson
and other comedy promoters well.
Johnson also said he didn’t want to be
competitive with other comedy spots.
! “I’m not here to take away
anybody’s business. I’m here to make
it all better for everybody. The more
i things we can do together, the better
» it’s going to be for everybody in Lin
coln,” said Johnson.
