'Thank Gays It's Friday' Comedy Show Moves to New Venue

Posted on: Wednesday, 21 January 2009, 06:58 CST

THE WORLD FAMOUS COMEDY STORE'S-MAIN ROOM FRIDAY JANUARY 23rd MIDNIGHT SHOW, 21 and over

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Jan. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- The Sunset Strip caters to a young vibrant crowd and while other industries have been laying off workers or going under, live comedy continues to flourish in Southern California, the entertainment capital of the world.

After a 16-week run, the gay and lesbian standup comedy show: 'Thank Gays It's Friday,' moves to its new home: The World Famous Comedy Store, this Friday January 23rd, with its Midnight Show.

As the demand for this LGBT show has grown, the new venue shifts from an 18 and over audience to a 21 and over audience at its new venue: The Comedy Store.

Producer, host and comic, Jerome Cleary remarks, "It's a natural progression that the response and feedback from audiences the past 4 months has carved out a niche."

According to ArtistsForce Blog: "Despite the recession, 2008 figures show revenue gains in the live entertainment industry. Pollstar reported North American receipts for 2008 at $4.2 billion, an increase of 7.8 percent over 2007. The revenue growth was not due to increased unit sales, though. Instead, the growth came from higher ticket prices."

"We continue to have sold out shows at our club over the past six months, says, comic-actor, Pauly Shore, son of Mitzi Shore, owner of The Comedy Store.

In addition to standup comics, the show has featured drag performances, juggling acts along with other non-standup performers.
