Jokers Introduces Smoke-Free Comedy Fridays

 

Cedar Falls – Beginning Friday, July 14, 2006, Jokers Comedy Club will offer smoke-free stand-up comedy shows. From 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. every Friday night, smoking will be prohibited in JokersÕ main building. Show time is 8 p.m.

            Jokers features nationally touring, live comedians every Friday and Saturday night. After two decades of offering the Cedar Valley the only live comedy entertainment in the area, management has decided to offer a smoke-free performance in order to attract a broader non-smoking audience.

            ÒWeÕve had several requests from guests over the years to offer a smoke-free show,Ó says JokersÕ owner Darin Beck.

            Booking agent Ken Muller, owner of Comedy Productions, based in Sioux City, has booked comedians for Barmuda since its inception. ÒNon-smoking shows are a national trend thatÕs really gaining popularity,Ó Muller says. ÒMany comedy fans are non-smokers, and clubs that offer both smoking and non-smoking shows are very successful.Ó

Smoking will still be allowed in JokersÕ pool room and outdoor Beer Garden during designated non-smoking hours. Visit barmuda.com for a complete comedy roster and to make comedy-night reservations, or call Jokers at  (319) 266-1132.
