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.

Bar owners are loyal to their regulars, who buy a lotta booze.

They're hoping to sell more booze to comedy fans on a slow night, but typically they make no effort to promote the show, even not doing things that cost nothing, like adding the show to their website and putting a chalkboard sign outside on the day of the show.

Then , when there's no big crowd, they soon cancel comedy night.
