I find it interesting that the person going to run a comedy club does not seem all that enthralled with comedy, which might be a good thing. It may be easier to be a non biased administrator if you don't have a horse in the race. I've been meaning to go see a comedy show at Arcade at some point here in Pittsburg. I've heard great things about the shakespear improv show, and I’m glad they have a new artistic director who wants to help out the company and help them evolve and stay relevant for years to come. I also had no idea that Arcade offered comedy classes, how fun! It's also interesting that she started out as an actress and decided to pivot to a more behind the scenes role in the arts. I think it's important that someone running anything in entertainment has some sort of background in the arts, rather than simply being a businessman running any other business.
