A sold-out crowd at a small comedy club enjoys a night of sharp wit and relatable stories. The performance showcases both rising and established comics, highlighting the importance of both intimate comedy spaces and larger venues.

Though he now performs regularly and produces two ongoing comedy nights — one at the Corner Beet on the second Wednesday of each month and another at thetwo Thursdays a month — Ergo's path to promoter was not straightforward. A 2015 graduate of the University of Colorado Boulder with a degree in communication, technology arts and media studies, Ergo began doing improv while in school.
Producing midweek comedy shows was a calculated decision for Ergo. “I emphasize trying to have the best lineups possible, which I can do because it's during the week," he says."Headliners might be out of town for the weekend or club shows on the weekend, but they're usually available on Wednesday or Thursday.", where the energy of a large audience frequently fuels the performance, Ergo's shows thrive in small spaces.
Producing these shows has taught Ergo valuable lessons, not just about comedy but also about building a community. “One thing I learned from those early house shows was how powerful word of mouth is,” he says. From texting personal invites to engaging with audiences after the show, he focuses on making every attendee feel valued. “People appreciate that connection, and it keeps them coming back,” he adds.
