Atlanta show to check out
Rotknee Presents at
Star Community Bar

Every Monday night in Atlanta, a guy name Rotknee hosts a comedy show at Star Community Bar. The show is famous for a lot of reasons, but one is the way comedians get booked on the show. They have to call Roknee at exactly 5:00pm on Thursday. “You call at 4:59,” Rotknee says, “I answer and cuss you out for cutting the line. Call at 5:01 I pickup the phone and laugh. List is already full.”
