In this week's episode, I look at the second of three independently owned clubs in Pennsylvania and what it takes to build, grow and run a comedy club. Jim Bryan (Church of Satire) talks to me about the balance of managing a club, a career in stand up and a family. Jim gets candid about moving to Vegas and then to Hanover, Pennsylvania , the hardships of starting a club in the pandemic, strategies in marketing and advice to anyone looking to start their own club. If you have that entrepreneurial spirit, do not sleep on this episode!Links from the episode:Church of Satire Website: https://www.churchofsatirecomedyclub....Church of Satire Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/churchofsatire/Twitter: @notearealchurchInstagram: @notarealchurchPlease like and subscribe to my channel!Marc's Website: marcstaud.comMarc's Instagram: @staudcomedyMarc's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/marc.stauude...Get to the Joke Instagram: @gettothejokeGet to the Joke Twitter: @gettothejokeGet to the Joke Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gettothejokeEmail Marc at [email protected]Chapters:01:50 - Day In The Life07:03 - Starting Out in Comedy17:43 - The Idea Behind the Club19:10 - Moving to Las Vegas31:51 - Moving to Pennsylvania35:28 - Going Back into Comedy48:16 - Jim's Stance on Money52:29 - Conversations with the Family54:43 - Origin Story of the Club1:01:05 - Physical vs Rent a Club1:04:09 - The Squad1:06:12 - The Plan to Make Money1:09:23 - Jim the Comic vs Jim the Club Owners1:21:15 - Strategies in Marketing1:30:25 - Goals for the Club1:33:00 - Biggest Expenses1:35:15 - Data on the Club1:40:35 - Handling the Competition1:42:35 - Hardships of Running a Club1:50:22 - Advice for Opening Your Own Club
