Well, I just now have seen it, for the first time, on opening night, exactly as I implied. I’m not promoting for anyone. This is a stand-up comedy thread, correct? A comedy club did just open in downtown Asheville. It was a relevant, and earnest, question/forum post. I understand your being skeptical/cynical. It’s certainly not unheard of for someone to anonymously schill for their own business, or their uncle’s business, or whatever.
Mayor Bellamy made it to the show, and other than expected opening night glitches (service a little off at first, but got up to speed), we had a really good time. Melanie Maloy MC’d, really good with the crowd and fun to watch, and the headliner (Lachlan Patterson) was hilarious. They had a magician walking around to the tables before anything got started and doing tricks (if you wanted). Sounds like it could be corny, but when you’re just waiting for audience to file in, sit down, order drinks, etc, it was a cool touch. Can’t remember last time I saw a magic trick, and they were actually pretty damn good.
