“Just this year, all of the sudden, it came out of nowhere,” says Roger Haak, public events coordinator for the UARK Bowl event center on Dickson Street, which books many comedy acts.

The scene grew on many levels this year, from those performing their first-ever sets to those whose names can be found regularly on marquees and in televised specials.

After hosting a similar event at another Fayetteville club, local comedian Troy Gittings early this year launched an all-comedy open mic night at West End in Fayetteville. Each Tuesday night, about a half dozen amateur comedians of various talent levels and styles gather to tell jokes.

Gittings also organizes the Fools on Parade comedy team, a group of standup comediansthat have performed several times at the UARK Bowl, the de facto home for comedy in the area. Similarly, the Expendables of Comedy, a group headed by local comedian Marcus Lane, has played various venues in Fayetteville, Fort Smith and elsewhere.

Meanwhile, Haak says that longer-established acts such as the Phunbags improv comedy troupe have experienced a considerable bump in attendance this year.

Haak says the UARK will host more comedy shows in the future, both with localtalent and budding national talent, such as was the case with recent shows by touring talents Paul Hooper and Rory Scovel. Those are the kind of names that could soon end up on marquees, he says.

Already at that level are comedians such as Larry Miller and Ron White, both of whom performed at the Walton Arts Center this year.

White sold out two May dates at the 1,200-seat venue.

The momentum isn’t stopping soon. The arts center already has national talents Brian Regan and Louis Black on the calendar for January.”

Have you read our history page yet? If you do, all the pieces come together and suddenly make sense, like watching a Tarantino flick.

Our building has gone through a lot of different names and uses, but originally there was a bowling alley on the bottom floor and a ballroom on the top floor. We were THE hip-happenin’ place on Dickson, and we want to keep that memory alive. We’re still keeping the good times rolling! Have you not seen our upcoming events? It speaks for itself.

We may not be a bowling alley anymore, but technically you’re “bowled” over with laughter when you see Phunbags and the Comedians of NWA. And with all the dancing from our wedding receptions, private parties, and concerts from Fayetteville Jazz Collective and Calle Soul, the spirit of the “good ol days” lives on.

We live in a “now” sort of world, and when it’s time to put together your big day, it can get pretty stressful taking all the time to put together a wedding reception. “Where am I going to get tables and chairs?” “How am I supposed to get enough plate settings for all 200 of my guests?” “Why can’t all of these things be included when I get the room?”

Say no more because we have you covered. In case you missed our amenities page (psssst click here to see it!), we provide just about everything you need! From tables and chairs to a dance floor, from audio visual equipment to dishes, silverware, and glassware, putting together a wedding reception couldn’t be easier anywhere else.

Can you hear us now? Good.

On Sunday, October 30, get ready to put your hands on your hips and bring your knees in tight.

Be ready to dress your part, and bring a few Rocky Horror virgins with you.

Until then, we’ll just have to leave you in antici…

(SAY IT! SAY IT!)

… pation.

Have an event you would like to host here? Say no more. We now have plenty of content for you to browse through whether it be what amenities we provide, photos of our venue, and answers to questions that may pop up along the way.

Not only that, but we’ll be keeping you informed with our upcoming events like our comedy, and music performances. And there’s always keeping up with this blog, but why not like us on Facebook too?

Can you tell we’re excited? Seriously. It’s like Christmas morning for us right now.
