HOW IT ALL CAME ABOUT

Senior Comedy Afternoons came about in response to a daughter’s desire to please and more importantly amuse her 89 year-old mother! The story being…my husband and I had taken her out to a comedy club for an evening entertainment and she just hated it..! She just couldn’t relate to the young comedians and the language being used so, I got to thinking “Why not create something just for Seniors?”

The elements that needed to be satisfied were an afternoon time frame in a nightclub setting, a nice meal served before the show and comedians who would serve up their humor fast and positively clean and clever with comedy she could relate to!

And so, a few dozen auditions later, a club to perform in, and some generous publicity from Los Angeles television station KABC Channel 7 and the Orange County Register, Senior Comedy Afternoons was born!
