Home on the Range

There's a new club in town, one with a big name for itself that's picked Stapleton, a corner of town not yet known for its rockin' nightlife, as a home. That's almost comic, but in this case, comic is a good thing: It's the nation's 22nd Improv Comedy Club — the very club originally conceived in 1960s New York by comedy impresario Budd Friedman — that's set up shop at 8246 East 49th Avenue, in the quiet midst of Stapleton's Northfield shops. Let the fireworks begin.
