Here is a fun short set Jerry Seinfeld practiced at my club Laughs Unlimited, and then performed on the "Tonight Show" w/Johnny Carson. Many of the acts back in the 80's & 90's practiced short sets that eventually became TV shows or part of some sitcom they were working on.

Back in the day, early 1908's, it was at my main club Laughs Unlimited that for years we had an actual clown. Jim Jayes, working at "Clancy The Clown" ,was the person entertaining and directing the crowds I had on the weekend nights. Plus, instead of staring at a brick wall; I had Clancy the Clown do a 10 minute warm up act on stage before every weekend show. He was in full clown make-up and costume and did balloons, magic and juggling to entertain all the adults...he was very good and it set the mood for fun! On this interview he shares good stories, more of his career as a true circus clown, and how he still does magic for kids today.Hosted by: R.

Back in 1987, a local TV station KXTV #10, did a 1/2 special on standup comedy based on my Laughs Unlimited clubs. Mike Garza Produced & Directed, Jonathan Mumm Hosted, and many comics, Pros & Amateurs were interviewed. Lots of standup taped live, and comics like Dennis Wolfberg, his wife Jeanie McBride, Lois Bromfield, Jimmy Burns, Moe Betterman, Rick Pulido, Don Hepner, and several other local acts shared jokes and talked about the business of comedy.Really interesting, and the fact that it is dated doesn't come through at all...solid entertainment and conversation.
