I will opt for a brownie over a cupcake any day, especially if it's smoothered in ice cream and whipped cream. But I won't go to FSS to do so.

Jeff Ross is performing at the FSS for $33-43 (after fees).  They are out of their minds.  His DC Improv shows were half that.

his profile has risen in the past year or so, i think he'll do well there actually.

comedians should stay away from music clubs and music festivals.  but that is just my opinion.

i dunno, comedians at a music festival can be a nice change of pace.  i really liked the "comedy kick-off" they did at coachella when i was there.  fun way to kick off a festie.

At a very low point in my life, I saw a comedian warm up the crowd for a Glass Tiger / Starship show.  He was the highlight.  Starship played "We Built This City" two and a half times.  >:(

I saw David Cross at the Black Cat a few years ago.  I thought it was a pretty cool vibe and he actually had a band open for him.

what the hell did you do in a past life to deserve that??

Standing room only for comedy shows??

blah

Is it just me, or does the FSS schedule look verrry thin?  They've only got 3 shows listed for the rest of the year, then only 7 shows in January.

This place has been such a dud in regards to bookings… **snooooozer**

Love it or hate it but I think the Fillmore has already had an impact on the 930s offerings…the 930 is having "smaller" shows now..could be temporary or not… remember the Fillmore is between 70-90% larger than the 930 Club capacity-wise…

Ray Davies, Cheap Trick, The Roots, Trey Anastasio, Ziggy Marley may be "duds" to some but they used to play the 930

basically the 930 has moved a bit away from legacy acts and more into newer up and coming bands.. accordingly, the average ticket price at the 930 seems to have gone down…

I would expect to continue to see bands that used to play the 930 move to the Fillmore as they are offered more benjamins (not necessarily on a per ticket basis but because they can put more people in there)..

i don't go to the club much anymore because i think i'm going to get shot.

i never go to black cat because i'm know i'm going to be shot.

after i go to widespread at the fillmore . . . i'll let you know if any shots were around.

Other than this list, I'd consider their calendar mostly duds… Ziggy is on the edge of being a dud.

By "duds", do you mean "Bands I don't like", or do you mean "Bands that couldn't possibly sell any tickets"?

Will it really? 

I'm surprised you still cheerlead for this place while they continue to bone you with a total lack of Rockenespanol shows
