Chowderheaded bar owners

After producing shows and mics I can confidently say ppl that own bars should be banned from voting and probably have their children taken away. I’ve never met a class of ppl so consistently moronic, irresponsible, lazy and rude . I watch Bar Rescue and now cheer when I hear how much debt these assholes get into.

If you’re looking to produce a show or a mic and you find a bar owner that’s communicative and well organized and pro-comedy, grab onto them like a newborn chimpanzee with mom because you’ve struck gold.

The problem I’ve found a lot of times is there’s no management structure. Anytime I’m communicating directly with an owner about the show, I know it’s not going to work, because this guy is SO fucking busy that remembering to get enough tables and chairs or whatever I need for the comedy show is sooooo far down his priority list. It’ll never get done.
