Full disclosure: I consider Dan Mer a good friend, know many of the comics mentioned, covered the comedy scene for a time for the Arizona Republic, and have performed at the Tempe Improv. All of that said, this is an insightful look at how comedy scenes operate outside of New York, L.A., Chicago and Boston. Lots of bad comics. Few good venues. Not a good mix. Did I mention it's good to be in Boston?
