	Book review: The Comedy Store
		And, of course, a comedy club doesn't exist for 23 years without boasting a string of now-famous names among its alumni.
		Cook, the comedy correspondent of The Guardian, uses the Store to parallel the development of the comedy circuit from strictly amateur beginnings through radical art form and TV breeding ground to the slick, sanitised experience today's punters expect from what can be an expensive night out.
		Although the Comedy Store's most exciting years are behind it, Cook doesn't mourn the loss of some of the ideals on which the circuit was founded - rather, he accepts it as inevitably mirroring the progress of society and politics.

	Carl Hurley's Comedy Store
		In this comedy concert, Carl leads a delighted audience on a tour of his off-kilter world, which includes his pixilated country kinfolk, humor-based efforts at weight control (he always seems to be on a diet) and his on-the-slant observations about how laughter keeps us sane in the topsy-turvy world in which we live.
		This uproarious live comedy concert was recorded at Carl Hurley's Cavalcade of Comedy for Motorcoach Travelers at Renfro Valley, part of the Eastern Kentucky stomping grounds where Carl developed his inimitable flair for down-home humor.
		The "comedy ingredients" are a pinch of wit, a dab of serious thought and a bowl filled with hearty laughs.

		It reappeared in the late Middle Ages, when the term was used to mean simply a story with a happy ending (e.g., Dante's Divine Comedy), the same meaning it has in novels of the last three centuries (e.g., the fiction of Jane Austen).
		Contrasted with Restoration comedy, genteel comedy was somewhat artificial and sentimental.
		Preoccupied with social themes, Middle Comedy represents a transition from Old Comedy, which presented literary, political, and philosophical commentary interspersed with scurrilous personal invective, to New Comedy, with its gently satiric observation of contemporary domestic life.

	Review of Comedy Store Manchester Gala Opening (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Then again, a comedy venue doesn't need a wide range of technical facilities: a tiny stage, no real wing space, a basic lighting rig and half-decent PA system, and use the rest of the area to put more seats in.
		It feels intimate enough, although it was noticeable that, perhaps due to stage lights in their eyes, none of the performers could really see to pick on punters beyond the first two or three rows.
		However, Comedy Store supremo Don Ward didn't get where he is today without knowing where to find and how to cater for a market.
