TAIPEI (Taiwan News)— Taiwan's leading stand-up comedy club, Live Comedy Club Taipei (卡米地喜劇俱樂部), recently opened a new location near Taipei Songshan Airport, which is set to be the country's largest comedy venue.

Comedy Plus (卡米地＋), the name of the new venue, can accommodate over 200 people and has large and small performance halls, equipped with high-end stereo systems, for all kinds of comedy performances.

The new theater is expected to become a landmark for stand-up comedy in Asia, allowing more Taiwanese comedians to perform on stage and larger audiences to attend comedy shows.

The new facility was funded by famous comedians including Ken and Kylie from Bailingguo News (百靈果), Huang Hao-ping (黃豪平), Froggy Chiu (呱吉/邱威傑), and Social Chang (張碩修), founder of Live Comedy Club Taipei.

In 2007, Social Chang opened Live Comedy Club Taipei and offered a venue for performers in Taiwan. This was a catalyst for the growth of Taiwanese stand-up comedy.

The club has already hosted top comedians, including Jim (程建評) and Bailingguo News. Tickets are available online now. For more information, visit: Comedy Plus Facebook page
