Theme and interstitial music by Manundso / BIZRQ.

Last night 30-40 Nashville comedy show runners were invited to meet up at Edley’s BBQ for a 15 minute meeting about “a huge and exciting comedy project.” Improvisers Luke Watson (Founder/Artistic Director of LOL Nashville) and Scott Field (Co-founder of Improv Nashville/Artistic Director of Music City Improv) kept it short and sweet. Noting how difficult it is to book a venue to do local comedy shows on Fridays and Saturdays, they announced that they’re opening their own venue. Having concluded their year-long search last week for a permanent space, they have partnered to open a comedy club that will serve all comedic art forms: sketch, improv, stand-up, comedic plays, etc.

The Third Coast Comedy Club is taking over the former Imogene and Willie production space at 1310 Clinton Street in Marathon Village, a breeding ground for creatives of all media. The theater will serve as an outlet for the wealth of comedic talent in Nashville. The bar will serve as a community meeting place for locals and comics throughout the week.

Alongside the nightly programming and weekend Main Stage shows, the club will offer courses ranging from improvisation to sketch to stand-up for locals and tourists alike. Weekend Main Stage shows will be directed by Erica Elam, instructor & player with both The Second City (CHI/LA), iO (CHI/LA), The School at Steppenwolf (CHI), and the critically-acclaimed musical improv group, Baby Wants Candy.

The tag line on www.ThirdCoastComedy.club says, “NASHVILLE’S HOME FOR ALL THINGS COMEDY.” The first post on their new Facebook page says, “For too long local Nashville comics have been homeless. Today that all changes. Next month the Third Coast Comedy Club opens its doors, providing a home for all forms of comedy (sketch, improv, and stand-up). Our soft opening line-up in March will be followed by a grand opening in April, including the first season of the Third Coast Comedy Main Stage show. Nashville is no longer just the Music City anymore!”
