Side Splitters
Let’s be honest: This year hasn’t been easy for any comedy club, and they all deserve a tip of the cap for surviving months with closed doors and no laughter. But Side Splitters was the first one back, and it clearly had a plan in place for its return. That meant installing an air purification system, paper menus and silverware, mask requirements for staff and customers, professional cleaning, and all the required social distancing. It even held a special benefit show for their employees who were hurt financially. All the local clubs have done a good job, but Side Splitters deserves special mention for getting things up and running in a professional and positive manner. sidesplitterscomedy.com —Michael Murillo
