Comedy Night

CL Critic Kevin C. Madigan Recommends: Half a dozen local comedians are now doing stand-up at a new venue in Avondale Estates above the Stratford Pub. Its first iteration in February saw a packed house and much merriment. Battle rapper Carter Deems was there and returns in March; he is a cast member on the MTV show “Wild ‘n’ Out” and a writer on the Emmy nominated series “Epic Rap Battles of History.” Deems also wrote for “Drop The Mic” on TBS and appeared on “Funny Or Die” and Snoop Dogg’s “Gladiator School.” Headliner Kareem “Plug” Chapman is a comedian, writer, and actor who holds court at the Comedy Store and the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles, as well as the Laughing Skull Lounge in Atlanta, where he teaches stand-up classes to aspiring comics. The host for the evening is Chapman’s former pupil Katherine Falen, known to insert plenty of her own funny bits. Mitchell Mack and Amy Sharma are on the bill too, and the ongoing series “will feature other comics new to the scene who are honing their craft at shows across Atlanta and surrounding areas,” says Falen. — KCM
