IRON COMIC returns! (Music City Bar & Grill, 4/16)

7 Funny comics x 10 min. each plus comedy competition with jokes written on the spot based on audience suggestions. Hosted by America’s Favorite Comedian Of All Time, Chad Riden.

If you remember the old Sunday Stand-Up Showcase Showdown And Stuff shows we used to do at Improv Nashville.. or if you remember the old radio show we did on XRADIO.. or if you remember the old NashvilleStandUp Podcast we did on ComedyPodcast.com.. you MIGHT remember IRON COMIC – we get a suggestion from the audience and comics make up jokes on the spot about that thing. It’s fun.

Friday (tomorrow!) 4/16, we start an all new IRON COMIC show at Music City Bar & Grill (across from OPRYLAND HOTEL) where we’ll have 7 comics doing their bestest 10 minutes, then at the end of the last set, comics come up and do the jokes they wrote about that subject one at a time, round robin style until we run out of jokes or time. Audience chooses a winner.

If you’re a comic and you’re not booked to be in the line-up, come on out – you can still do the IRON COMIC part of the show AND we’ll draw one of your names out of a hat to do a 5 minute guest spot.

If you’re a comedy fan – there is NO COVER CHARGE! Food from the kitchen and the full bar will be rockin’ all night.. so don’t miss it.

The FINAL Sunday Stand-up Showcase Showdown and Stuff (4/26)

The Final Sunday Stand-up Showcase Showdown and Stuff
The Final Sunday Stand-up Showcase Showdown and Stuff
6pm April 26: Joe Southards, Josh Phillps, Iron Comic, special guests; FINAL SHOW AT THIS LOCATION

“Couldn’t possibly give this a higher recommendation.” – ComedyNews.Org

Joe Southards and Josh Phillips close out a fun run of shows at the Improv Nashville Comedy Theater, which is closing their 12th Avenue South location. “America’s Favorite Comedian Of All Time,” Chad Riden, hosts a showcase of touring, professional stand-up comedians plus random guest sets from Nashville-based comics and surprise, impromptu sets potentially available for anybody who brings fresh Funny with ’em. They also do an “IRON COMIC” competition where two comics write as many jokes as they can in an hour about a random topic suggested by the audience. Very funny.

The show starts at exactly 6pm and ends at 7:30pm – so if you have stuff to do Monday morning, this shouldn’t interfere at all!

$5
Tickets available at the door, or in advance online
