by Michael C. on Doing the comedy circuit once again. I've reviewed the Miami Improv; I've reviewed Uva. Now for The Comedy Inn, the last bastion of hope for a man trying to support his friend's hobby. Wait a second: a comedy show less than 5 minutes from my house with free parking and all you can drink? ATTENTION CITIZENS OF PALMETTO BAY AND PINECREST: MARK YOUR FRIDAY NIGHTS FOR COMEDY INN. Seriously, its $25 to get in and all you can drink. Booze is whatever they have, which usually has a variety of rums (Captain Morgan's and Malibu), vodka (Smirnov), whiskey (Jack and/or Jim), wine and beer (Yuengling until it runs out, then Miller Lite and Coronas). Sometimes after the show, if the turnout was huge they'll have pizza, which will help sober you up. A nice touch. Oh yeah, there's also a show. Usually they get about 3-4 local comedians perform and a headliner. Again, this isn't open mic night at the Improv, these are the young (well some are old) men and women who are working on their craft and all hilarious. You have great talent just trying to make a name for themselves and presenting a wide variety of humor (family, geek, parody, relationships or lack there of), you have the "still local but have been on cable" comedians like Johnny Trabs, and if you went on 8/6 you saw Detroit comedian Dwayne Gill who was on Last Comic Standing. The comedians rotate on a weekly basis, but you are sure to have a great time no matter what the week. Notes: While this isn't 21 and up, there is alcohol and adult comedians. This isn't for kids or for those who are easily offended. As word of mouth has begun to spread (I know, who would have thought you could get great entertainment and boozed up without leaving your neighborhood ?), the place is getting more packed each week - If you are with a group get there early. Lastly, just be courteous to the other guests and performers. Everyone is there to have a good time, so just be relaxed and enjoy the show.
