Ok, this isn’t downtown specific, but when people from New York contact you about upcoming events in Des Moines it is an ego boost!

There’s a comedian by the name of Paul Mecurio coming to the Funny Farm this weekend. Here’s more information if you’d like to attend. Please do, I’d love to see Mr. Mecurio’s show be an amazing success (thanks to his brilliant team of marketers finding us….)

He has an interview with The Juice here’s a snippet.

Rhode Island native Paul Mecurio went from Wall Street lawyer to writer for “The Tonight Show” to Peabody and Emmy Award-winning writer for “The Daily Show.” In his spare time he’s a stand-up comedian, and recently co-created and starred in a television pilot, “Sports Central.”

This week Mecurio comes to the Funny Bone for several nights of shows.
