		I've only been the once, but agree with you about how good this place is. We saw the Comedy Store Players and you're right, they're better than the ones on the TV.
		Just wish there were more Comedy Stores around - we are getting a Jongleurs up here in Glasgow in the new year but I hear that they aren't a patch on the Comedy Store.
		I was told by a friend that this was good and it would seem from your write up that she was not wrong.
