Craig Talks The Standfords Spring & Summer



TKC NOTE: Here's a message from our pal Craig about what's coming up for him and his place in the coming days. Take a look:

STANFORDS OFFERS SPRING AND SUMMER COMEDY STARS

The new Stanford and Sons Restaurant and Comedy Club is bringing in some new big names to KC and reuniting some of our favorites from the recent past. This week its Michael Winslow who starred in all 7 Police Academy Films. The famous noise and voice man in not only those franchise pictures but the man who gave us the voices of the Gremlins and teamed with Mel Brooks in Spaceballs. Recently Winslow was the Geico Man. Michael has just teamed with former Police Academy stars Steve Guttenberg and Lisa Holbrook yes the large sized chest cop in the series to do two new films for the Syfy group and Winslow joins many names in the ever popular new series Sharkado. His show is a sight to behold.

Winslow is one of the few name comedy stars who works clean enough to bring the family. He is a G rated show. Yes he still does Jimi Hendrix. He has added Tina Turner and Louie Armstrong, as well as Led Zeppelin to the program. Winslow has been coming to Stanfords nearly every year since he started with us in Westport back in 1995.

Colin Kane will return to the club this June after his hit film 'Wedding Ringers' with Kevin Hart. Mister Naughty is selling out everywhere. He always sells out here. Another name that was with us in Westport will be here in April, Jamie Kennedy best known for his tv series and movies like The Mask 2 and Malibu's Most Wanted. May brings us TJ Miller, who co starred in this years Academy Award winning film Big Hero Six. TJ also stars in HBO's Silicon Valley, Transformers 4 with Mark Wahlberg and tons more. He just landed the lead in the new film Dead Pool.

In a few weeks Stanford's will introduce to KC the daughter of Richard Pryor, Rain Pryor. Brian Posehn will make his first trip to comedy land in our city as well.

Maybe one of the most intriguing acts has to be Jim Norton. Too many credits to mention but working with Louie CK was killer on that show. Jim usually does theaters but he did Stanfords early in his career before he joined the ranks of Lewis Black, Bill Burr and Louie as the top observational comics today.

This all should make the summer a fun and entertaining time in Kansas City. There are many others, check out the calendar at stanfordscomedyclub.com. Stanfords has great food in the new restaurant as well, the BBQ Ribs will make want to come back for more and Stanfords brought back the flower pot bread as well. See you there.

  1. speaking of bringing cutting-edge entertainment to KC -- got a Groupon offer for the "Murder Mystery theatre!!" at Stanfords--
    (rolling eyes)

    http://www.groupon.com/deals/the-murder-mystery-company-137

    before -- you had to drive to Branson or Eldon - or I think they did that on a train to Topeka also --

    now-- all you 83 year old urban hipsters can just strap on your fanny-packs and hop the nursing home shuttle to their JoCo stripmall !!

    get there early -- place fills up quick with all the walkers.. wheel chairs.. oxygen tanks etc.

    Rave on!

  6. Murder Mystery does sell out. Went to one at Legends. It was different, fun. Good food. Why do you think its just old people, I'd say the average age person was 35 at best?

  7. I just heard the latest radio commercial.
    I'm so excited! Can't wait to punch Craig in the mouth after I eat those over cooked, dried out, mass produced ribs.

  8. Another ad for this dive and its dodgy owner. Ugh.

  9. Craig been to your new spot twice. Food is very good, didn't do the ribs but will next time. Comedy was as always tops, saw Dov Davidoff first time and Coulier second time. Thanks for the heads up on the summer line up. Strong. Want to see Colin and Brian. Don't let these 'nuts' on here bother you. What have any of them done, nothing.

    Speaking of the loser, went to the comedy club Saturday night, a friend scored me some free tickets from rughead. Like the fencing that makes one think your being herded like a bunch of cattle into a place that smells like something that came out of the southbound end of a northbound cow. Out front first thing I noticed was this fucking pile of wood all over the sidewalk and what was a ladder that it appeared someone had just opened a door and thrown out there for lack of any place else to put it beside a bicycle that your guess is as good as mine why that fucking thing was there in the front either. So a trashy look that set the pace of what was yet to come. Got inside trying to check the joint out get seated and what not ordered a drink which I swear the ice had been sitting in the glass for close to an hour, the drink had the same as no ice and tasted watered down as hell. While discussing the shitty drink and even if we dared try some food our waiter comes back wanting to know if we wanted even more shitty drinks and got nasty when we said what we had was shit wanted them replaced and the bartender should be fired. Then this Ahmed Ahmed what ever the fuck that means other than he was some Arab who like Glazer isn't funny or even knows what the word means was so bad ten minutes with a shit drink and his jabber and all four of us got up and went up to One Block South where we had a kick ass fun night. Just for giggles the wait staff there was awesome and agreed the comedy place was a shithole and was damn glad to have us there. Mickey Needleman was playing some great music I myself had a strip steak that was awesome, along with a great price. We all had a great time unlike the poor saps who didn't have the balls to get up and leave the comedy it wasn't place......

    Groupon claims all these people have made comments but you can't see the comments. I know for a fact Groupon posts fake comments getting people to buy the shit. There is no way that comedy crap house has a 79% approval rate. No other reviews on many other sites have ever had a 79% rating listed more like a 30% rating. 7:37 is right One Block South is the place to go.

    Also Winslow again? Glazer sure likes the washed up black actors.

    Lisa Holbrook you mean the Lisa from KCTV 5? You complete idiot you lie so much you can't keep shit straight in your own drug fired brain ya rat snitch.

  16. 7:37 hater fag. I was at the Stanfords new club tonight for Winslow. Not one empty seat. Great numbers on a weeknight. Had the pasta my girl had their ribs, both very good. Show was better than good. What a dick you must be 7:37. The place is expanding adding a patio and you bitch cause there is some wood outside near construction of the patio? I guess. Must be doing something right they are adding space next door too. The place is fun.

  17. I never understood why you cannot just wander in early for the early show and drink at the bar in the back of the house.

    They are trying the "keep people outside in a pen/bar area" idea AGAIN?!?!

    I understand totally keeping people out of the seating area during the early show if they have tickets to the late show but the extensive lining up outside seems odd and different and unnecessary compared to nearly any other club I've attended.

    We shit on CG our most famous CI but Comedy Clubs are all owned by his "type".

    I wonder what the real story is why he is only getting his oldest friends that he could call in favors to work the club. There should be way more young comedians here.

    I think he may have gotten an IMG ban from saying Chris Kattan was expensive and not funny multiple times on youtube. (which is kinda true but pretty unprofessional).

    He's also getting squeezed by Improv who offers a sterile atmosphere but dozens of guaranteed dates at a time across the country to people who play there. Since Improv is essentially a corporate chain there is no version of CG there to short you on the door take, claim that you couldn't make guarantee b/c of comps or whatever shady stuff has been said about our wigged hero.

    Gilbert Godfried is at the Improv this weekend so they have the funnier guy. Stanfords loses this weekend.

    Craig Glazer gives you all an update on Stanfords and some big name acts coming this summer. They don't much bigger than Norton, TJ Miller and the others. All you do is attack the man. Why? His club has been in our city for like thirty years or more. Stanfords has brought in huge name stars to our town. Don't see the beef.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I think the guy at 3:54 works at the Improv. Maybe he just has a crush on Glazer. Fine line between love and hate.

    ReplyDelete
  20. No loser at 6:54 I doubt he does, he makes good points and as a former employee of The Snitch he does fuck people and thats why many won't come back and he is down to the shit the other clubs are not booking to choose from and that is why Winslow is there so much his act is old and and always the same shit everytime he is here.

    Larry, I know thats really you Glazer trying to act like someone else. OK, I mean come on you think we believe someone from Oklahoma at 6:30 in the morning is reading TKC and backing you up. Glazer is no doubt the most delusional person in Kansas City.

    Whenever a poster uses a name followed by a hash mark / it's Glazer or one of his cronies. Some reason Glazer thinks that gives the post credibility.

  22. LARRY Marks/OK3/27/15, 5:36 PM

    I was a manager at Stanfords I now own four comedy clubs in the midwest mister hide behind no name. The only full of shit person on here is you.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Was a manager and now owns four clubs can you smell the bullshit coming off that post. Owns four clubs and gets up real early like Glazer does to go to the radio stations harping his shit, fuck you asshole. Wonder if Larry likes Glazer using his name. Maybe I should call Larry?

    ReplyDelete
  24. 7:48 save your dime. Larry Marks is a nobody as anyone can see. You know your life is special when early first thing in the morning you make a post about Stanfords as the supposed owner of four clubs. Glazer must think we are some real stupid folks in here.
