The Ice House Comedy Club in Pasadena, California has been a favorite for comedians and stand-up aficionados for years. Now, The Ice House was recently recognized as one the Top Five Comedy Clubs in the country by researcher Dr. Peter McGraw and author, Joel Warner, writers of The Humor Code: A Global Search for What Makes Things Funny. With a star-filled roster of past and present performers, including Jimmy Fallon, George Lopez, Jay Leno, Bill Maher, George Carlin, David Letterman, Steve Martin, Bob Newhart, Lily Tomlin, Marc Maron and Dana Carvey, The Ice House Comedy Club has been singled out as one of the "best rooms" in the highly competitive comedy club industry. McGraw and Warner conducted a study from their own travels around the world exploring the science of what makes things funny. In the process, "We stumbled on an important question: What makes a good comedy club?" The researchers noted, "According to many of the comics we interviewed, a 'good room' is one that's dimly lit, densely packed, with hard chairs, low ceilings, a red curtain, and nothing at all that's blue."

Tickets: 626.577.1894 or www.icehousecomedy.com

The Ice House comedy club presents:

The Ice House Comedy Club welcomes fan favorite and universally acclaimed comedian, CRAIG SHOEMAKER on July 27 and 28. CRAIG SHOEMAKER’s extensive accomplishments, spanning more than three decades, are beyond impressive. He has performed for major television and cable networks, writes for the hit sitcom Fuller House, a radio guest on countless stations, hosted his own syndicated radio and podcast shows, on stage stand up, performances on Broadway, has written two children’s books, invented “ON Hold” advertising and hosted motivational presentations and speeches; all with audiences ranging from 50 to over 70,000 people.

PAULY SHORE, whose name and image are practically synonymous with Los Angeles comedy, will perform at Pasadena’s legendary Ice House Comedy Club on August 4. PAULY SHORE tasted super-stardom in 1990 when his precedent-setting MTV show "Totally Pauly" hit the airwaves to major fan approval. The show ran for six years, leading him to numerous TV and film roles, including the one-hour HBO TV special, “Pauly Does Dallas” and starring in films like "Jury Duty," "In the Army Now," "Bio Dome," and those that are currently trending on Netflix, “Encino Man,” “Son In Law,” and “The Goofy Movie.”
