The Grit City Comedy Club will open this week in exactly the same location that the Tacoma Comedy Club recently moved out of.
FLETT-RIGGS'S NEW (OLD) DIGS >>>
Tacoma has the divine privilege of welcoming another new comedy club to town.
But there's slightly more to the story ...
Comedian and filmmaker Aaron Flett-Riggs, sans former business partner Adam Norwest, will be bringing comedy back to the former Tacoma Comedy Club locale in Malarkey's on Tacoma Avenue. He'll launch this venture under a new moniker: Grit City Comedy Club. According to Flett-Riggs, staffing issues, a huge overhead, poor acoustics, odd bathroom placement and contract difficulties at the new location of Tacoma Comedy Club simply were not working out for him. As you'll recall, Flett-Riggs and Norwest moved the Tacoma Comedy Club to its current Market Street location in March, with Flett-Riggs telling the Volcano at the time that a lack of size and service concerns were the reason for the move. Norwest will continue to run the Tacoma Comedy Club from its Market Street location without Flett-Riggs.
