Buck WilsonGUEST
It was always either The Roxy or the Whiskey a Go Go.
Buck WilsonGUEST
When it was a quieter night, uh, w- meaning when we could get in 'cause we were still underage, we were always going to The Comedy Store, Mitzi Shore's old place.
Buck WilsonGUEST
Um, and the people that you saw in there turned up maybe five years later were the people that you were seeing on TV.
Buck WilsonGUEST
Um, it was really amazing.
Don BarrisGUEST
And the comedy store potluck is just like new comics, guys trying to get into the, the arena of doing stand-up comedy and i'll tell you something it's very hard and there are people that go there and they will go out and try to go to all these potluck shows all over town and they'll do it for 20 years and never get any money out of it so it's kind of a sad thing but It's a little group, and I used to host the comedy store's potluck night.
