Not only are the folks behind a brunchtime comedy show at an accessible venue considering a different audience, they’re combining it with double-digit cereal options to dig into.
“We always associate stand-up comedy with late-night shows in basement bars. That isn’t everybody’s jam! Parents, elderly folks, people with early start times at work — it’s harder for them to make time for a 9 p.m. show. A matinee show with the added bonus of breakfast has opened up our growing comedy scene to so many new people,” host/producer Scott Koropas said.
Sunday’s Cereal Killers Standup Comedy Show and Cereal Buffet at X-Cues Cafe and Lounge on Sargent Avenue begins with brunch at 11 a.m. before a noon start to the laughs at the fully accessible venue, a plus for autistic comedians Koreas and fellow performer Sarah Jane Martin, both advocates for disability rights.
