Happy Bones Jones presents “The Jest Joust Comedy Calamity”
Drake WhiteMonday nights are really funny! Local singer/songwriter, comedian and entertainer extraordinaire Happy Bones Jones is hosting a new comedy night at the Fox's Lair, the cozy underground bar in the basement below The Olde Town Inn on Telfair, on Monday nights. "The Jest Joust Comedy Calamity" has had regional comedians competing for a 10 week run, but Happy Bones Jones would love to see it become a regular thing on Monday nights. He's also turning the whole thing into a podcast!
Happy Bones Jones and The Jest Joust Comedy Calamity
Augusta has had only a smattering of "comedy nights" at various venues since the closure of The Comedy House Theater on Washington Road years ago. But Happy Bones Jones is betting on some local hunger for a fun show and a good time! By all accounts there has been a comedy resurgence over the last few years that might even rival the 80's prime time of stand up.
"The Joust" has an open mike format so it's available to all comedians, amateur and professional with no age, gender, or nationality restrictions and the content is no holds barred so you can leave your easily offended girlfriend at home! The only restriction is that all material must be original and created by the performer. Of course plagiarism or use of copyrighted material without permission will result in disqualification from the competition, not to mention bad vibes from everyone else!
Happy Bones Jones Keeps Comedy On The Clock
Performers will get 5 minutes to dazzle the audience with their schtick. If you've been to the Fox's Lair you know it's a pretty cozy venue but Jones says they may add a few T.V.s outside to accommodate a bigger audience. The performers have been given a theme each night like "The comedic potential of mistranslations in fortune cookies" but when you put a bunch of comedians onstage, you never know where things are going to go so it could be a wild ride!
Don't miss upcoming acts like Comedian Franko on September 9th, Andy Crooks on September 16th and Alyx Libby on September 23rd! Pre-sale tickets are available at the Happy Bones Jones website.
