“There is an incredible amount of passion and enthusiasm surrounding all of the arts in the city. Sure, comedy will probably be a footnote, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do things other cities with only 65,000 people have never done before. I want this to be the best small city for comedy in the world.” If you haven't gone to Clear Water Comedy Thursday nights at The Plus... GO TOMORROW! https://www.facebook.com/events/180359452726578/
