Slog - Comments on Onward and Upward with the People's Republic of Komedy http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/04/onward_and_upward_with_the_peoples_repub Good news from the ever-ambitious people at PROK: The Republic is spreading to New York and Los Angeles. This summer, emissaries from PROK, some of whom have already made advance moves eastward and southward, will begin regular shows at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood and (probably) Pianos on the Lower East Side. More details forthcoming. But, for now, congratulations! In more middling news: PROK-Seattle is moving Laff Hole (its weekly, flagship comedy night) from Chop Suey into the upstairs theater at Capitol Hill Arts Center. I'm guessing they're moving because a) the closure of the Crocodile has made it more...

How come this obvious idea hasn't been touted before?

I remember the right-honorable David Schmader making the ReBar suggestion back when the Mirabeau Room closed and that suggestion WAS being considered (along with discussions regarding the BadJuju, the bar-side of the then Premier/Fenix, Theater OffJackson and a few others) as a possible new home for the ComedyNight show...discussions which ended when PRoK chose to take the CHAC's offer to turn Laff*Hole from a monthly to a weekly.

And that decision turned out to be pretty solid and worked out very well for PRoK.

And the ReBar HAS held comedy shows like Owen Straw's Banana Hammock show...and it IS, I believe, still the home of Get Loweded.

The thing that I like about move back to CHAC for Laff*Hole is that they're putting it upstairs...so, it's not moving backwards...

It's moving up.

That leaves the 1st Wednesday at Re-bar opened up.

That's prime venue real estate my friend...
