The Loony Bin Comedy Club

This place is pretty good for Arkansas standards. It is something to do on a Wednesday-Saturday evening, and it is pretty inexpensive. The club doesn't have any frills... it is almost "divey," but certainly not ghetto-y or trashy. They usually have three comedians each night, and on Wednesdays, they have an open-mic night. I'm not sure how that is because we've never been there on a Wednesday, but usually the comics are pretty good. Generally, out of the three, two of them are pretty good. The comics often use sexual and/or drug-related material that could be toned down a bit, though I guess it is appropriate for the mostly younger crowd. The crowd seems to be half 18-35 and half 50 and up, without many middle-aged folks. Even so, the older crowd generally seems to enjoy themselves. One of the nice things about this club is that they list their comics on their website, so you can choose which type of comedians you'd like to see, and go on that week. They generally post schedules 3-4 weeks in advance. What else is there to do in Arkansas, though? We've been there several times, and I'm sure we'll be back again. For the price and the lack of other options in Arkansas, it is worth the visit.

Note: They serve alcohol, but it isn't an unwritten requirement that patrons indulge.
