==History==
Originally known as the Comedy Shoppe, owners George McKelvey (remembered as the 'godfather' of Denver's comedy community), Doug Olson, and Edd Nichols renamed the venue Comedy Works in 1981 and moved it to a basement space in the (Granite/Graham-Clayton building ). In September of that year, Comedy Works was the first nightclub in Denver to have professional comedy on a full-time basis. In the next 30 years, Comedy Works grew into the nationally recognized club that it is today featuring names like Roseanne Barr, who started her stand-up career at a Comedy Works open-mic night, Jay Leno, Jerry Seinfeld, Joan Rivers, Tim Allen, Ellen DeGeneres, Dennis Miller, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Jamie Foxx, Craig Ferguson, George Lopez, and Lewis Black.
Wende Curtis, current owner started as a cocktail waitress at a now-defunct Fort Collins, CO Comedy Works location.〔()〕 After graduating from CSU, Curtis became a manager for the Fort Collins location. She later managed a Tampa, FL Comedy Works and turned around that club in the process. Her skills in revamping clubs lead to her return to Denver in 1998 to run the Larimer Square location. In 2001 the parent company faced financial difficulties and Curtis and two partners bought the business. By 2003 she bought out her partners and became one of the few female comedy club owners in the country.
