Miss the Comedy Warehouse or Adventurers Club?

There’s a chance Monday night to relive some memories of the late, lamented Comedy Warehouse and Adventurers Club while lending a helping hand to someone in need.

Disney shuttered the Comedy Warehouse and the Adventurers Club last fall when it pulled the plug on all the dance and comedy clubs at its Downtown Disney Pleasure Island complex.

Monday, Disney performers and others are staging a night of remembrance for their late colleague Bruce Bowes. Bruce was a sound technician; his work can be heard in the Shakespeare Center’s current production of Yankee Tavern.

To help Bruce’s wife Joy cover expenses, a bunch of Bruce’s super-talented friends and co-workers are staging their remembrance as a benefit show. Tickets are $15.

Among the various music, dane and compedy acts scheduled to perform is a cappella group Toxic Audio, who played at the the Pleasure Island Jazz Club back in the day.

Also on the bill are Hoopla favorites from the A.C., and skits a la Comedy Warehouse. Among the familiar faces involved: Krista Miller  and Mary Thompson Hunt.

Also on hand as part of the evening: a silent auction. Word on the street is there will be Adventurers Club paraphernalia up for bids, including a genuine Hathaway Brown oversized martini glass. (But will it be as oversized as his ego?)

Tickets, as I said, are $15 for the event, which takes place in the Margeson Theater at the Lowndes Shakespeare Center, 812 E. Rollins St., Orlando. The silent auction (and cocktail hour) begins at 7 p.m.; the show is at 8.

For more information, call 407-252-8830.

Our condolences to Joy on her loss. It sounds like this show will be a fitting tribute to a man who made his mark on our local entertainment scene.
