HARRY BASIL’S LAUGH FACTORY COVINA

One of the best new clubs to open up in the LA area in the last couple years THE LAUGH FACTORY COVINA, has really gotten it’s stride. It’s a comedy club, but it’s actually a little theatre and it’s a hell of a lot of fun to play. When the place is packed there’s very few gigs like it that you can drive out to and come right back home after.

JEREMY PIVEN

I was out there with Jeremy Piven a couple weeks back, (who’s become a really strong stand up)  and he got like a five minute standing ovation. The crowd was apoplectic in their love for the guy.

 

Harry was a stand up from my early days and I always loved him. We worked together a lot. All the comics loved him. He got a boatloads of standing O’s himself. His act was, and is, high energy and spoofs on all of the movies of the day. I always remember he  was a hard act to follow.

He was close friends with Rodney, and Dice, and Louie Anderson, and went on to direct a lot of fun movies with Rodney.

 

He co-owned and ran The Laugh Factory in Vegas in the Tropicana for years and it was a big success, he’s reopening in Vegas, but now he has this new one in Covina that like I say is really a mini-theatre, and comics adore it. It’s a no-fail gig. Nothing but fun. I happen to love the room.

It’s worth the hour and a some change drive out to see a show out there. It’s one of the best settings for stand up around right now. Small and intimate and regal in it’s way. So great.
