If you have driven by the old Snickerz Comedy Bar on Saint Joe Road lately, chances are you have noticed the fresh coat of paint on the building.
Gone is the eye-catching teal decor. In its place is a classier white-and-black color scheme.
A new comedy club is taking over the facility. Summit City Comedy Club is an A-list club scheduled to open this fall. Its webpage shows photos of well-known comedians such as Bob Saget, Taylor Tomlinson, Pauly Shore, and Leanne Morgan.
We will see these talented acts grace the stage? We will have to wait and see as show announcements are expected soon.

Sevendust and Tremonti rock the region
