The Blue City is Looking to Grow Boise’s Comedy Scene:
Founded in 2019, what started as one comedy open mic night has turned into three open mics across the valley and a professional comedy show every Saturday night. The Blue City Production now holds the title of Boise’s longest-running comedy open mic, which gives local and traveling comedians the space to test out their craft. “Boise comics work hard and love harder. The Blue City supports comics working their craft and in return, our comics and fellow producers have our back. So much love and respect in our small but great Boise comedy scene. Definitely come check out Boise's talent! ” -Hailee Lenhart-Wees, Founder of The Blue City. Check out their events here!
