Tommy Davidson at Morty’s Comedy Club Tonight

Who can forget this scrawny little comedian that made some of the funniest moments in television and movies? My favorite is probably his African warrior character from Ace Venture 2: When Nature Calls.

Now you can catch him live and in person at Morty’s Comedy Club tonight through Sunday night. Get all the details here at Morty’s Comedy Club website.

Dave Wilson’s One-Liners Comedy Club Closes in Greenwood

Author: Jason Bean, Category: Comedy, Greenwood, Local Businesses

Indianapolis will have one less thing to laugh at now along with a visual icon on the south side of the city in Greenwood. One-Liners’ comedy club will be closing down and it’s unknown if it was sold or just shutting down completely. The website looks like it’s now in some kind of partnership with Cracker’s Comedy Club, or maybe that’s just Dave being friendly with the local comedy scene.

The statement from their website says that the owner, Dave "The King" Wilson, a local WIBC talk radio host, in the article states the following:

In a statement on One-Liners’ Website, the couple said they were closing the business "to pursue other dreams."

There will be fewer laughs in the city and fewer people that will do a double-take as they drive on Main Street in Greenwood over by the I-65 intersection and see the backside of a plane that’s apparently crashed into the roof of the building.

They will certainly be missed.

The news story reports about some recent fines that the club had to pay due to some seemingly idiotic city ordinances and complaints that someone filed against them.

Harlem Globetrotters at Conseco Fieldhouse Saturday

This could be a challenge this weekend. I’m taking my daughter to Pike PAC for "The Souls of Our Feet" as a daddy/daughter date. However, I just realized that the Harlem Globetrotters are going to be at Conseco Fieldhouse this weekend, Saturday at 2:00pm.

My son would love this and now I need to debate on whether or not I can swing taking my son to this on Saturday afternoon and my daughter to the other event on Saturday night.

If you’ve ever been to a Harlem Globetrotters game you know it’s a great time and very funny. My son would love it!

Decisions, decisions… can I afford the tickets?
