The Punchline Comedy Club 's Comedian Bio
|
| Bio | In February 1982, The Punchline Comedy Club came into existence. In the 24 years which has elapsed, it has dominated the Atlanta comedy scene and participated in the growth of thousands of comedians careers.
Always showcasing the top performers at the top of their game, there is an intimacy at a Punchline show that few clubs are able to duplicate. It is about the connection of one performer with a unique audience. The moment of catalyst when a joke connects. The eruption of laughter which follows.
If you have never been to a show at The Punchline, then you're missing out. If you haven't been to a show at The Punchline in a while, then what are you waiting for? If you're on your way to a show at The Punchline, then we'll see you when you get here. | | Website | punchline.com | | Members | There are a number of people who play a significant role in making the shows go. Among them are Marcey, Steve, and Eric - who basically get it done in each of their respective areas of responsibility.
Today Jamie Bendall, Chris DiPetta, and Jim Bendall are the owners of the club.
Jamie Bendall did his first open mic in the fall of 1991 at a place called The Comedy Act Theater. Some of the other amatuers at that show included Don Curry, Bruce Bruce, Tim Murrary, Sommore, and Chocolate. Currently, Jamie is an attorney licensed to practice in New York, Georgia, and Massachusetts with the law firm of Bendall & Mednick (www.reallawyers.net). His primary practice area is personal injury where he helps get justice for those who have been injury or killed by the negligence of others. Some call it ambulance chasing, but he calls it an honorable way to make a living. Jamie briefly was an NFL agent, but gave it up when none of his clients stuck on a roster. He hosted a radio show for nearly four years on WGST on in Atlanta called "The Legal Edge" with George Stein the DUI Lawyer. The show was great, it's still lamented to this day, but since neither Jamie or George were willing to compromise their intergrity the show was cancelled. That, and the station thought a "Best of Phil Hendrie" would do better in that time slot. George, Jamie, and Arbitron still disagree with that to this day. Jamie also represents on-air talent, making sure their interests are protected and getting them the money their abilities warrant.
Chris DiPetta has been in the comedy game since The Punchline first opened in 1982. In addition to important work on the original expansion of The Punchline franchise, he has opened or consulted on comedy clubs for The Funny Bones, Catch a Rising Star, and Uptown Comedy Corner. He has managed talented performers including Jeff Foxworthy, Steve Harvey, Sheryl Underwood, J. Anthony Brown, Grant Turner, and Earthquake. He currently manages Tim Wilson, Billy Gardell, Stewart Huff, Carl Rimi, and Tommy James. Chris' relationships with many in the business go back more than two decades. It is that body of knowledge and insight which keeps him among the best prognosticators of comedy trends.
Together Jamie and Chris are principals in Matthew Victor Entertainment, which has represented talent like Sony recording artists Laughing Pizza. | | TV Shows | The Punchline has appeared on television a number of times, however, since we don't really go out for auditions any more, we'll confess that our credits are not complete.
We've been on the Today Show, Three Day Weekend, Blue Ribbon, Hot Topics, Hot Pockets, Good Day Atlanta, Atlanta & Company, MSNBC, Channel 2 News, 11Alive News, etc., etc.
Our comedians have appeared on every television show in the modern era that features comedians. |

The Punchline Comedy Club 's Blurbs |
About me:
The Punchline Comedy Club is, needless to say, a comedy club. It's been in existence since 1982 and has seen many changes in the Atlanta comedy scene, not the least of which is the opening and closing of many other comedy clubs.
The Punchline is, by far, the best first date in Atlanta. It is the best place to take your parents when they're visiting from out of town. It is the best place to take your co-workers when you've finally landed that client or have finished that project. It is the best place to go to laugh like you've not laughed in a while. It is the best place to go to see the best comedians working comedy club stages.
You should also know that I am not the biggest comedy club in the world, in fact, I have less than 300 seats. Those seats are fairly close together, and it's why you are laughing so hard, because, you see, physical proximity=laughter.
