"Laughter is the best Medicine!"

TULSA, OK - It's time to fill your prescription for laughs as The Comedy Clinic - Tulsa's Improv Troupe, announces its opening night show, "Laughter is the Best Medicine!" The humor returns to Brookside on November 9th, 8p.m., at Tulsa's finest Martini Lounge and Champagne Bar, the Suede Lounge, 3340 S. Peoria Ave.

The Comedy Clinic players will showcase decades of theater and comedy experience in their live show which has been described as Saturday Night Live meets Who's Line is it Anyway?

These comedy doctors give audiences a local flavor in their sketch and bit comedy, the likes of which won't be seen on television or anywhere else in Tulsa! Audience participation is a must as the Clinic hilariously entertains patrons with their favorite improvisational games and ORIGINAL sketch material.

Clinic director, Ben Beckham, brings 15 years of improv, writing and directing experience to the troupe. He will lead this flock of locally grown comedians into Tulsa's hottest night spot for fun, Brookside.

"We're bringing comedy back to Brookside," said Beckham, a founding member of The Obnoxious Party Guests comedy troupe. "We like to make people laugh, and since we're all from this area, we want to share that with the community."

Beckham is joined by OPG alums Maria Swindell and Jeff Turner. Swindell's quick wit has been cut on the stage and theater, while Turner's writing and stage experience dates back to dozens of projects he developed with Beckham in the late 80s. Among the featured players is newcomer Scott Mocha. Mocha developed from the stage and later became a well known dance club DJ.

Advance tickets are a co-pay of $7.50 or $10 at the door (no insurance necessary!). For individual or group ticket information, call 918-665-9997, or visit www.thecomedyclinic.com. The Comedy Clinic is available for private bookings, interviews and private consultations by calling the same number.

The Comedy Clinic will return to Tulsa's finest Martini Lounge and Champagne Bar, the Suede Lounge, on December 7th for their Christmas show, "Even Santa's gotta Laugh!" Tickets and show time remains the same.
