Long-time friends Scott Edwards, Bob Stobiner, and Lynn go through a treasure box of memorabilia from their decades running Laughs Unlimited comedy club, sharing stories and fond memories from the 1980s and 1990s comedy scene.
• Soupy Sales, famous for throwing pies at celebrities, visited the club and participated in a radio promotion where he hit Scott and local personalities with pies
• The owners reminisce about celebrity encounters with music stars Boss Skaggs and John Sebastian
• Graham Chapman of Monty Python performed at the club shortly before he passed away, doing a storytelling show rather than traditional stand-up
• Examining old tickets, flyers and promotional materials reveals 1980s pricing ($12 for Jay Leno tickets, 50¢ draft beers)
• Famous comedians who performed at Laughs include Jerry Seinfeld, Ellen DeGeneres, Bob Saget, Dave Coulier, Dana Carvey, and Robin Williams
• The club opened August 7, 1980 and continues operating today, making it one of Sacramento's longest-running live entertainment venues
We'll be back to our regular format of stand-up comedy sets and interviews with professional entertainers next week.
