Jon Fox, owner of the Seattle Comedy Underground (one of my absolute favorite clubs in the country to perform at), presented an interesting question on his Facebook page recently looking at ideas for how comedy clubs will survive in the face of Netflix, YouTube, On Demand, and the myriad other ways people have of getting their dose of comedy these days.
You can check out the full thread and comments here.
As with anything that involves comedians, the comments involve a good amount of both ridiculous answers and self-interested complaining. But there are some solid ideas in there too. I decided to sleep on the idea and this morning, a lot more ideas were in my head. Too many for a facebook comment. Not that I have any concrete answers. If I did, I’d be opening a club. But I do have some ideas.
