In this week's episode, I pivot and look at the first of three independently owned clubs in Pennsylvania and what it takes to build, grow and run a comedy club. Nick Bruce (Wisecrackers Mohegan & State College) talked to me about being a second generation owner of the family business. We talk about the history of the club, the stress of running a club how Nick manages costs while trying to find new ways to generate revenue. We end on advice for someone looking to open their own comedy club.
