THE SHOW’S NEW HOME IS THE GRANFALLOON AT 400 EAST MAIN STREET
At the height of the pandemic, two NYC comics (Steve Maloy and Jeff Greenspan) were invited to escape NYC’s lockdown and live at Chattanooga’s Bode hotel while on a writing assignment.
One night, they staged a socially-distanced comedy show in the hotel’s lobby. They only had a karaoke machine for a sound system and a smattering of hotel guests for an audience, but it went well enough for them to try it again.
The show eventually got a better sound system (and considerably larger audience), so Jeff officially moved to “The Noog,” and made The Carpetbagger’s Comedy Night a bi-weekly event, inviting his NYC comedy pals to perform alongside Southeast favorites.
In May of 2022, we celebrated one straight year of sold-out shows!
