Scott Edwards is joined by Bob and Lynn Stobiner to reminisce about the wild days of running Laughs Unlimited, the Sacramento comedy club they started in 1980. The trio shares outrageous stories and memorable moments from their decades in the comedy business.
• Scott and Bob's friendship dates back to high school where they started several businesses together before opening Laughs Unlimited
• Lynn joined as Scott's first staff member, coming aboard after a brief career at Burger King
• Rodney Dangerfield once called the club looking for Bob Saget, creating an awkward moment for bartender Jill
• A magician's dove act went horribly wrong when several birds appeared "near dead" after being confined too long
• During power outages, audience members were given flashlights to illuminate performers, creating unique bonding experiences
• Gary Shandling once led an entire small audience into the men's room to continue his set when a patron left to use the restroom
• Robin Williams stopped by after his concert downtown and performed an impromptu set, appearing energetic on stage but shy and respectful backstage
• Bob once got punched by a drunk patron who had been ejected from a show
• Comedy club ownership involved both death threats and incredible celebrity encounters
