ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
With a population of over 550,000, Albuquerque, New Mexico is by no means a small town. Since its only comedy club closed more than a decade ago, the city has been unable to open and sustain a stand-up comedy venue.
In this limited-run podcast, comedian Sarah Kennedy interviews industry experts, performers, business authorities, government representatives, and more to find out what it would take for a club to survive and thrive in Albuquerque.
