Sad article about the state of the Comedy Store and its proprietor, Mitzi Shore. Both seem to have passed their prime and this piece probably won't help.
For a couple of years, I was around the Comedy Store a few nights a month, usually just to hang out with comedians I knew, since I never found it very comfortable as a paying attendee. There was always a Tourist Trap feel to the place, and parking has always been a pain. But there were occasional periods when the line-up of comics was so strong, you almost didn't mind. (The parking at local comedy clubs has always been rough. I always felt that if someone were to open a place with an actual self-park lot, they'd own the business.)
With new comics being showcased on Comedy Central and other venues, I doubt the Store can ever again be what it once was. But if the campaign to save the place brings in some of the top people to perform, it might well be worth hassling the parking again. Maybe.
