If you’re planning on attending this month’s Downtown ArtWalk tonight, there’s much more in store for you than art exhibits.
Tonight kicks off the new Comedy Walk, a “performance festival” featuring stand-up and improv acts from 30 talented comedians you’ll recognize from SNL, HBO Def Jam, E! and Comedy Central, among others.
Six venues stationed throughout the Historic Core will host a series of simultaneous 10-minute slots beginning at 8pm. The event is completely free.

Here you go… How do you make holy water? Boil the hell out of it!
Zing! Zow!
spins…you’ve got a fine career ahead of you as a comedian…just don’t quit your day job.
here’s the only joke i’ve been able to commit to memory;
Q: How can you tell when a blonde has been making chocolate chip cookies?
A: There’s M&M shells on the kitchen floor.
thank you and yes, i am a brunette…
Q: How come you can never starve on the desert?
A: Because of the sand which is there. (groan)
Why did the Dairy Queen get pregnant?
Because the Burger King couldn’t control his Whopper.
(silence)
Hello…(tap, tap)… is this thing on?
There used to be a panhandler at 6th & Olive who would tell jokes for a “donation”. The best one I can remember went……….
Q: Why was the bee wearing a yarmulke?
A: Because he didn’t want to be mistaken for a W.A.S.P.
Believe me, you didn’t want to hear his joke about the proctologist with Parkinson’s Disease.
i had a friend who married an opthalmologist. i asked him how the honeymoon went.
“awful,” he said, “all week long she kept asking, better like this? or better like this?”
The comic panhandler is still in that neighborhood. Tried to find him for the Comedy Walk - but couldn’t. Maybe next month.
Best bathroom graffiti I ever saw.
