Almost two years since its last show and about four years from when its first show premiered at Woody’s Pressbox, Sunday Night Funnies will return to Woody’s on Feb. 20.
Going on since the fall of 2010, the Sunday Night Funnies is a free weekly live stand-up comedy performance featuring a variety of comics from Michigan and around the country.
Due to COVID, the local comedy production’s last show was March 15. For the past several months, Sunday Night Funnies has been at Grand Rapids’ The Guest House.
“We are very excited to have the Sunday Nigh Funnies returning,” said Mike Eaton, Jr. Partner/Operations at Spectrum Lanes. “We look forward to a long and successful relationship with Brian and the Sunday Night Funnies.”
Sunday Night Funnies creator and host Brian B. said he is happy to be bringing the show back to Woody’s Pressbox, which is located in inside Wyoming’s Spectrum Entertainment Complex Wyoming at 5656 Clyde Park SW.
“The COVID pandemic affected everyone’s lives and I’m glad that the Spectrum Entertainment Complex has bounced back and is ready to have the Funnies at the venue again,” he said. “Its been almost stwo years since our last show there and four years to the day when we did the first one, so starting back up on Feb. 20 will be our four-year anniversary there of sorts.
“We’ll be hitting the ground running with a special Gilda’s Club LaughFest show on March 20 then in May we’ll being our 4th Annual Kingpin of Comedy competition.”
The show starts at 7:30 p.m. at Wood’s Pressbox which is located between Meijer and Craig’s Cruisers. For more on Sunday Night Funnies shows, visit the Sunday High Funnies Facebook page.
