Competition Proves Stand Up Comedy Not Dead in Bossier
Comedy Lovers Lined Up on a Saturday Night for the First Ever Loco Fest.
Don’t Take This Serious Comedy announced a local comedy competition at the East Bank Theater. LoCo Fest was on a mission to find the "Local Comedy Champion". Over 30 comedians tried out and only 10 made it to the final stage. All 10 had about 5 minutes to make the crowd laugh and hopefully earn the vote from the public.
It was a unique experience in the East Bank, it was an open container situation where you could grab a beer from across the street and walk over and enjoy your beer and laugh at the same time. Flying Heart even created a specialty beer available for one day only, they called it the LoCo Dank Beer.
Loco Fest Had Two Different Showtimes So Everyone Who Wanted to Could Attend.
The late show sold out and the first one was just shy of a sell-out. After the second show, several people made their way to the announcement party at Flying Heart Brewing. It was a night packed with laughs and full of fun. It was a unique evening and was a great change of pace for the community.
The crew at Don’t Take This Serious Comedy claims they will be coming up with more festivals and opportunities to showcase comedy in Shreveport-Bossier. We can't wait to see what the DTTSC comes up with, we love seeing live entertainment thrive in Shreveport-Bossier.
