Connecticut Valley Comics
was formed as a resource for both stand-up
comedians in the Springfield, MA, Hartford, CT area and the public at large. Stand-up comedy has had a resurgence in
in popularity in recent years, with shows like NBC's "Last Comic Standing" and HBO's "Def Comedy Jam" and Comedy
Specials, and the syndicated "Whose Line Is It Anyway". All this attention to comedy has produced a bumper
crop of stand-up comics in the Connecticut River Valley, not privy to a national stage- but funny nonetheless. CTValley Comics
provides a venue for these funny people to get a little exposure to the public and
a way for the public to contact them.
