Ryan Hole of Hole House Productions hosts the comedy nights — @ryanholecomedy.

Ryan Evans hosts open mic — @gringoku67.

Open mics fade when nobody owns them. This one has a production company and a host who keeps the room moving — new pages, regulars who come back, and a night that feels like a scene.

Why it won

Hosting that keeps time. A room that laughs when it should. Cheap enough that a first-timer can bomb and still return. That’s a small-city comedy night done right.
