Backdoor Comedy Returns

By Robert Walling
The Multipurpose Room will be transformed into a professional comedy venue Saturday, April 1 when the Backdoor Comedy Club returns. The show’s name comes from comedians having to enter the Multipurpose Room through the “backdoor,” and is back after a two- year hiatus. Performing in this year’s show will be traveling comedians Josh Wade and Randy Riggle.

Riggle, of Pittsburgh, has performed in the ABC sketch comedy show, America’s Funniest People, and has written for comedians such as Jay Leno and Joan Rivers. Wade, based in New York, is a sarcastic man who enjoys frequenting the New York comedy club circuit as well as dozens of colleges across the country.
