COMEDY WALK is a free comedy show held on the second Thursday of each month in downtown Los Angeles. It's six simultaneous 90-minute shows at the Downtown Comedy Club and five other nearby venues. COMEDY WALK kicked off on January 10th. That's twelve 1-night events per year. Robin Rowe is the executive producer and marketing director. Lawrin Goulston Salazar is the talent director. COMEDY WALK is a production of MovieEditor.com.
Comedian Rick Overton, who’s appeared in episodes of Seinfeld and won an Emmy writing for Dennis Miller Live, is a COMEDY WALK veteran. "I like the whole COMEDY WALK idea", says Overton. "In virtually any other city, walking means that you are healthy and have somewhere important to go. In Los Angeles, it means that something has gone horribly wrong with your career. I like to walk to my favorite diner. When I get home, there'll be messages on my service: ‘Hey man, I was driving by and saw you walking down Ventura today. I just hate to see you out there all on foot like that. Is everything okay? Do you need one of my cars? Call me…I'll be on the treadmill watching Dr. Phil on the flat screen, but I'll leave my cell phone on.’ Sheesh… COMEDY WALK is the healthiest thing comics have done in years."
A comedy walk is a comedy event presenting simultaneous shows within walking distance of each other. The audience can sample different acts from different shows by walking to a different venue.
