Appendix………………………………………………………………………………p.37 Chura 4 INTRODUCTION Digital media threatens the profits of the entrainment industry. The variety of options offered by digital platforms such as Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube introduces new competitors to physical entertainment venues, such as comedy clubs. IBIS World Report suggests that the comedy club industry generates $315.1 million annually in the United States. However, while the industry itself is growing, digital entertainment venues (e.g., Netflix, Hulu, Vimeo, and YouTube) threaten the future of physical stand-up clubs (Edwards, 2015). This potential substitute has left stand-up comedy clubs, like the Texas Improv Comedy Clubs, questioning if they can maintain their brand identity, while potentially leveraging new media to their advantage. Overview In 1963, the Improvisation Comedy Club, or Improv, started in New York City by Budd Friedman as a venue for Broadway performers to relax after their shows.

    STEVE PEARL - Comedian, Writer, Director, Air-guitarist Extraordinaire! Fee: $2500/exp – California Based A well-respected comedian whose been compared to a tornado on amphetamines.

In L.A. he was quickly made a paid regular at the world-famous Comedy Store on Sunset Strip. In his first days there he suddenly found himself following such legendary comedy acts as Sam Kinison, Richard Pryor and Roseanne. In the highly competitive world of the 1980s L.A. comedy scene, he held his own and continued to grow both as a writer and performer. In the late 1980s he began appearing on numerous TV shows, including _A & E's An Evening at the Improv (1985)_ , and Caroline's Comedy Hour (1989). During this same period he began touring extensively clubs, colleges, and festivals all across the U.S. and around the world._ _ Some of his many credits include writing for and working with such comedic legends as Sam Kinison, Bill Hicks, Jim Carrey, Robin Williams and Rodney Dangerfield._ _ A true journeyman comic, Steven Pearl continues to push the envelope of both good taste and sanity.
