You might have heard of the Original Kings of Comedy, but have you heard of the Comedians of Comedy? Or Fine Gentleman's Club, or Los Comicos Super Hilariosos?

There is an underground comedy scene in Denver that is beginning to bubble up to the mainstream. The alternative comedy scene has a comedy LP to its credit, and there is a serious comedy following.
