Laff Stop

This place has moved from it’s location in the River Oaks shopping center (On West Gray, just across from River Oaks Theater) to Waugh Drive off Allen Parkway.

They had their opening night at their new location in March, and comments from the first performing comic, Larry Kuciemba, make me curious to see the new place:

Give the Laff Stop a hand for trying to get rid of big people in Houston You put your club on the second floor so big people can’t get here. There’s no parking so big people have to walk a mile. And you have a Subway underneath. Way to go!

(Quoted in a Houston Chron blog.)

Has anyone visited the new location yet?

Went to the comedy club last night. The opening acts were funny, but the main attraction, Greg Morton was hilarious. He did adult versions of cartoon skits using the characters he normally does voice overs for Porky, Elmer Fudd, Scooby etc. He talked about women, men, relationships, kids, compared the current generation to how things were when we grew up. His impressions were amazing- many characters from the Star Wars and Lord of the Rings trilogies. He also did musical impressions,complete with music, wigs and costumes, of Mick Jagger, Prince and Tina Turner. His re-worded version of Run Dmc’s “Walk this Way” as a song about hemorrhoids almost made me wet myself. I could hardly catch my breath when he sang just like Shaggy on “My Angel” and turned it into a song about Miss Cleo. His impression of Macy Gray’s “I try to say goodbye” was dead on and the new wording including “I can’t drive when I’m drinking beer” was LOL. In short, the evening was wonderful, and if you get a chance to see this guy perform, go; you won’t regret it.

My time here (years ago) was to see the late, great Bill Hicks. My date & I got to go with a high school friend of his and the guy’s parents (who were also close to Hicks). Unfortunately, my date & I stayed at the table while the family went backstage to visit, but naturally it was a really great show.
