Dogs - and their human stand-up comedy companions - are the featured performers at this weekend's House Party ComedyMost weekends, comedy fans in Houston can find an entertaining stand-up show at a local venue to take in with friends. But none include man’s best friend. This weekend, House Party Comedy aims to change that when it goes to the dogs.
“I’m opening up my bedroom, we’re going to put kennels in there and the comics are going to be onstage with their dogs. Yeah, it’s a gimmick but it’s also enrichment for the animal,” Calle explained. “When we’re at work, when we’re at comedy shows, when we’re on dates, when we’re partying – when we’re just anywhere but home – all that dog is doing is just waiting for us.
It’s also all for a good cause. As in the past, the show’s proceeds are tabbed for donation. Past shows have benefitted animal conservation for gorillas, giraffes, rhinos and pangolins. They’ve funded education initiatives and wildlife vet clinics. This installment will aid a South African family Calle befriended on his many trips to the country as a wildlife documentarian.
Show co-host Storz has performed at House Party Comedy, worked the door and attended as an audience member.“I figure that the best way to make a comedy show successful right off the bat is to just give, just give it all away. That way, at the end of the night, everybody’s going to walk away feeling like they did something awesome for the day, which is correct. They did.”
