But yeah, that camaraderie, we needed as comics.

That's why we opened up the club.

We opened up the club because we realized that one of the functions that the Comedy Store had for all of us, it was home base.

We had a home base, and it was a great old club with this amazing history, and we were proud to be a part of it.

And so we'd all get together, and we were proud.

We were Comedy Store comics.

It was fun.

Yeah, we were back at the store.

Yeah, and some of the best shows that we would have all year would be like Tuesday night, Wednesday night shows at the store.

We'd go there, and it was just so fun.

And everybody's just so happy to be around each other, other comedians, just have fun and talk about jokes and talk about stand-up.

And then when we came out here, I was like, well, there's no home base.

There's no home base.

We did the Vulcan, but it's not set up good for a green room.

I was like, we need a real home base.

And then I started looking.

I started looking right away.

And the first place I bought was a cult theater.

It was owned by a cult.

That fell apart.
