Please Welcome our Newest Paid Regular Esther...

The Comedy Store is pleased to welcome our newest Paid Regular, Esther Povitsky. Esther is a home grown talent, working her way from the open mic through the heart of the Store to her first 9 pm spot in the Original Room last night. Esther’s comedy is sublimely awkward.
