The recession has been kind to local comics and to the handful of clubs where they perform in The City, with cheap guffaws and ticket deals proving popular with thrifty but jovial locals.
“With the recession, more people are coming out to laugh,” said comic Kevin Avery, who performs in San Francisco.
A new comedy club has announced plans to jump on The City’s joke-telling gravy train.
Holly Horn, a former comic, improv artist, soap opera actress and waitress, is planning to open a comedy club, restaurant and nightclub in the regal Don Lee Building at 1000 Van Ness Ave.
The vacant mezzanine level of the 88-year-old building — at the corner of O’Farrell Street near strip clubs, bars and other late-night lairs — will provide a stage for comics, ventriloquists and other performers, according to Horn. The AMC Van Ness 14 will continue to operate in the building.
