In reply to Trent Williams. Comedy clubs will remain stagnant for 2 primary reasons - Stand-up comedy on TV (most household have more than one TV which results in individual viewership) and on YouTube (along with other online video sources).

Your’re right about my inexperience! 🙂 But it is possible to run a successful restaurant or show without booze. Here’s a story about a successful alcohol-free open mic – in IRELAND! — http://www.irishexaminer.com/weekend/having-the-last-laugh-169839.html

But I do have a question: Why do you think Comedy Clubs haven’t seen their normal recession boom? Do you think it’s a Hulu/Netflix thing? Cheap entertainment that doesn’t require leaving our houses to get is beating out live talent?

In reply to Trent Williams. You obviously have never owned a club or restaurant. Alcohol is THE profit center above all others. If you want to work where alcohol is usually a much lesser issue (at least as performing goes), the corporate comedy market is hard to beat.
