It's Friday and it's time for Main Street, Connecticut. A chance to showcase many of our attractions of our local towns, our cities and what they have to offer this morning. We're in Stamford News 12, Connecticut's Mark. Sudal is at the New York Comedy Club there. He's got more. Oh, you, you're behind the mic. You're ready to go. Mark behind the mic. I got a joke for you. Beck. Are you ready? I think she's ready. You know, I just flew in from Norwalk and boy, are my arms tired. Hey, Shecky. Thank you. Oh, that works. Yeah, that, that, I think that worked. All right, good. Uh Let's bring in our guests, Scott and Emilio from, uh, the New York Comedy Club here in Stanford with us. Thank you so much for being with us so early this morning. Hey, quiet, that crowd over there. Will you, uh, Scott, tell us about the place and you've only been here about a year, I guess, right? Yeah, we've been here just over a year and it's been fantastic. We, uh have relocations in Manhattan and we moved out here, uh, because we saw the market in Stanford and it's wonderful and we've been very well received and we're happy to be here. Yeah. Emilio, tell us about the response from the community here. No, it's been great. Yeah, I mean, you know, I'm originally from Connecticut and Scott lives in Stanford. So it was always a goal of ours to have some kind of outpost here locally and there, it has been really, really great. It's much, you know, it's very much a community, you know, New York is obviously New York, but it can be a very transient place. Whereas, you know, here in Connecticut, we're getting a lot of repeats. We get a lot of people who come here often when we celebrate our one year anniversary. Actually, we had a, a guy who was like our super fan, he'd been here like 18 times. So, uh so it's, it's good to have that kind of like loyalty. So, Scott, you get some, some pretty good names here. Tell, tell us about some of the comics you have coming in. Sure. I mean, we get the best of the best. I mean, we get huge headliners like Andrew Schultz, Chris Stefano, uh Jessica Pearson, uh Josh Johnson, I mean, really all the, the household names. And then we do a lot of showcase shows which is like, you know, five or six comedians uh from the city. One of the great things about being in Stanford is we're so close to the city that we can get these comics who are performing at other clubs to shoot up here. It's only 45 minutes up train. Um So you get that city feel of a showcase. Um But here in Stanford, which is great. So you don't have to drive down to the city to experience New York City comedy. And look, I mean, anyone who's done stand up before, this is not an easy thing to do, it's not easy at all. It's, it's easy to give a best man speech, but to do five minutes of material on stage is really, really difficult. And uh yeah, and, and again, the comics, they love coming here as well. It's, it's kind of like a little, almost like a little getaway from them from New York City, you know, coming out to Connecticut and, and taking the train and, and being able to also work on their craft in front of a completely different audience, you know, which it makes it really effective for them to come here and perform and where you are here, right in Trustor Boulevard uh is a great location. It's a fantastic location and we got great restaurants right here. You know, people in Stanford are looking for stuff to do. I know for myself, you know, when my wife and I want to go on a date night, that was one of the reasons we opened the club is so that there's things to do in Stanford. That's not just going out to dinner now you can go out to dinner at Tera or Capitol grill um and just come right over here afterwards. It's makes for a great night out. Amelia. You, you, you got a quick joke for us maybe. No, no joke. II I, I'm on this side of the business because I'm not the funny one. So uh no joke. Unfortunately, Scott's usually pretty good at jokes. So you got something for us. Nothing in appropriate, nothing appropriate. I was gonna say, yeah, this is a family. We keep the jokes to the professionals like yourself. Not me. That's for sure. Thank you both for being with us today. Thank you for coming. Pleasure. Thank you so much, Becky. Uh always a good time. You gotta check this out and uh we'll see if we can get you up here one of these days.
