The month of June started off with a C-U Comedy Beach Party on June 3rd where all performers were required to wear their beach attire on stage. Some too that very seriously as we borderline broke come nudity laws. It was great to see so many people in central, IL show up with towels in hand. We could have filled a kiddie pool we guess... but that water would have gotten nasty really quick.
On June 10th we welcomed in the "Escort to New York Comedy Tour" featuring Emma Arnold, Chad Heft, & Ryan Noack. They were going cross country from Boise, ID to New York and stopped in for one night only in Champaign. It was standing room only and a great show.
On June 17th, we had our second standing room only show in a row as we housed the C-U area showcase featuring 9 different performers. We are following up with another one next week with even more performers from our area that keeps growing with talent.
On Saturday June 20th, C-U Comedy's Justin Tuttle, Esteban Gast, Chris Hightower, and myself went to Harrison Park in Danville, IL to donate our time for a great cause as The Center for Youth and Family Solutions were having a fundraiser. The set up was a bit different than we were use to as the crowd was a bit far away from us, but they were really nice people and all had a good time as we filled an hour spot between the band.
We closed out our month at Clark Bar on Thursday June 18th with the best crowd we have had in a while. They were just superb in their reactions. We started playing people off to the Addams Family Theme which really moved the show along quicker and will become a fixture there (with different, and sometimes more annoying, songs.)
