The Queen of Comedy: Mitzi Shore
Let’s talk about the woman who basically is the Comedy Store. Mitzi Shore, a name synonymous with laughter, was the driving force behind this legendary LA hot spot. Think of her as the comedy world's fairy godmother, but instead of wands and magic, she had a knack for spotting talent and a no-nonsense attitude. She was the one who gave a platform to countless comedians who went on to become household names. It’s like she had a crystal ball and could see who was going to be funny before they even knew it.
From Humble Beginnings to Comedy Empire
Now, you might be wondering how a regular person ends up owning a comedy club. Well, Mitzi didn't exactly start at the top. She was married to Sammy Shore, another comedy legend, and together they opened the Comedy Store in the early 70s. But after a divorce that would make a reality TV show look tame, Mitzi took the reins and turned the place into a comedy mecca. Talk about turning lemons into lemonade!

The Comedy Store: More Than Just a Club
It's not just about the jokes, folks. The Comedy Store is a breeding ground for talent, a place where dreams are made (or shattered, depending on your set). It's a place where you can see the next big thing before they're even big. And let's be honest, it's also a place where you can witness some epic fails. But hey, that's comedy for ya!
So, to answer your burning question: The Comedy Store is currently owned by Peter H. Shore, as a trustee of the Mitzi S. Shore Trust. But let's be real, the spirit of Mitzi lives on in every laugh, every heckle, and every open mic night.
