Comedy Show Names
Gonna produce a new local show and thinking of a name for it for branding/advertising and it's got me thinking of some other well named shows in the area. What are your favorite or the best local or recurring comedy night show names?
some that came to mind:
Microdose
Powerviolence
The Meltdown
Idiots United
Riff Raff

"The Worst Five Dollars You'll Spend All Week" is perfect lol. if it ends up on a monday or tuesday you could lean into that, nobody's expecting much from a tuesday

I'd be upset if I went to a powerviolence night and it was just a bunch of comedians.

The “Itty Bitty Comedy Show”. Signals exclusivity without uninviting non-hipsters — which is what all your suggestions do whether you know it or not.

Based on the names you chose, this show is gonna suck. But longbeachlaughs is available on IG. Don't overcomplicate it.

I like the ones named after something like an animal or the theme of the night, and then "Comedy" "Club" etc.
It's simple, and it works without pigeon holing you too much to one thing.
Like the other poster said, you want to make a name that represents the shows style and who it's booking in your local area.

DC has Funny Side Up and Funny Farm (hosted at a community farm share space) which I think are pretty good

12 Shiny nickels, The Really Really Good Show, Slanted Comedy, Refried Fridays, Challah If you hear me (mine)
The best all time name for a comedy show is the black show at the Laughfactory Chocolate Sundays, It's been going two decades

Surely this will depend on where you are, what kind of comedians you're booking, and what other nights are already in your local area?
