Brian Crall, founder of Sacramento Comedy Spot, is my guest for Episode 123.
Brian and I chat about how Sacramento Comedy Spot got started; why my uncle wouldn&#8217;t let Whoopi Goldberg cut to the front of the line; how the Free Hooch Comedy Troupe begot Sacramento Comedy Spot; why you need to fail to find some success; the maneuvering he had to do keep Sac Comedy Spot opened at the beginning; and why turned it into a non-profit.
