The Mile High City has received a reputation in the comedy world for being a tough, but rewarding town, and the people here appreciate to laugh, but they can be savage when they don’t like a comedian’s material! I have seen people heckled wickedly in Denver comedy clubs, but at the same time, when a comic gets over with the crowd, they can be honestly appreciative.
As the saying goes, “if I can make it here, I can make it someplace.” I have always done well with the audiences in Denver, CO, perhaps because I base most of my jokes on the 6 years I spent working in a cannabis dispensary, then denver is well known for its cannabis dispensaries, they have more than I can sincerely count; Many years ago the neighborhood of Denver became a battleground for the subject of legalized cannabis… Every major news outlet in America had a reporter in Denver to keep tabs on the political and legal replaces! Famously, there was even that little Girl Scout who set up a table selling cookies outside a Denver cannabis dispensary to prey on the potheads.
After that cannabis became part of the culture in Denver, and even those folks who don’t get high feel how much legal weed has benefitted the city. This is why my comedy act does so well in Denver, when it gets fewer laughs in other markets. The people of Denver are correct with cannabis, and most of them are really high while they listen to me tell jokes. I know I’m usually high while telling them!
