Today we’d like to introduce you to Sahar Chavoshi.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Sahar. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
The Comedy Bar started out as a show in a downtown bar back in 2011. We quickly gained popularity and began to expand our programming schedule to meet the demand. In 2015, the club joined forces with Chicago staple, Gino’s East, in River North. In our current home, we offer 7 days of stand up a week, a full menu of authentic Chicago food and in-house brewed craft beer from Gino’s Brewing Company. The Comedy Bar has two stages: the main stage venue and our B-stage, which also offers live music and is located inside Gino’s Brew Pub.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
We’ve faced many struggles like any growing start-up business. What’s helped us succeed and keep growing has been the support of an amazing local comedy scene.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with The Comedy Bar – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
As a company, we believe that sticking to the basics and doing them really, really well is the best path to success. It is exemplified in our name, our programming and even the venue itself. We offer great comedy, for a decent price, in a beautiful room that serves quality food/drinks with exceptional guest service. People don’t visit our venue just for the comedians on our stage, they come to us for an EXPERIENCE. The Comedy Bar’s motto is “Comedy Done Differently” and we stick to this principle in everything we do.
So, what’s next? Any big plans?
We are excited to announce the expansion and nationalization of our brand! The Comedy Bar- Nashville will be opening in summer of 2018 in partnership with another location of the Gino’s East restaurant brand. We are most excited to get to be a part of such an amazing city and its growth, as well as the opportunity to help cultivate Nashville’s growing stand-up comedy scene.
