Beaches Comedy Club: A Haven of Laughter Set to Open in Panama City Beach

PANAMA CITY BEACH, FL - Prepare for an uproarious grand opening as Beaches Comedy Club is set to take Panama City Beach by storm on the weekend of March 29th, 2024. Owned and curated by the indomitable Shelley Hendrix, this comedy haven promises to bring joy and laughter to the Gulf Coast.

Shelley Hendrix, a resilient soul with an inspiring story, turned to comedy as a form of therapy during a challenging chapter in her life. After the tragic loss of her husband to cancer, she found solace in the world of humor. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she delved into comedy on television and started following her favorite comedians on social media.

As live comedy made its return locally, Shelley became a regular attendee at shows, immersing herself in the laughter that brought her comfort. Her journey into the world of booking shows began with a passionate desire to see one of her favorite comedians, Sammy Obeid, perform live. Unrelenting in her pursuit, Shelley not only convinced Obeid to come to Panama City but also took charge of finding a venue and selling tickets.

The spark for Beaches Comedy Club ignited when Shelley had the audacious idea of creating her own comedy haven. To ensure her club catered to both the audience and the artists, she embarked on a trip to New York City to meet comedians and understand their needs for an exceptional venue. The result is a comedy club that not only provides a space for laughter but also prioritizes the comfort and requirements of the performers.

Beaches Comedy Club, nestled in Panama City Beach, boasts a private room and bathroom exclusively for comedians, among other perks that cater to the needs of the artists. Shelley's attention to detail and understanding of the comedy scene ensures that Beaches is not just a venue but a home for comedians to showcase their talent.

Originally from Pensacola, Shelley has called Panama City home for the past 17 years. The logo of her club is none other than her beloved dog, Crazy Daisy, embodying the carefree and joyous spirit of the comedy experience she aims to provide.

Shelley's commitment to family values extends beyond her logo, with her two children actively participating in the operations of Beaches Comedy Club wherever possible. The club will feature a diverse lineup, ranging from family-friendly shows to classic adult humor.

Excitingly, in the summer, Beaches Comedy Club plans to offer a workshop for teens interested in comedy, providing a platform for the younger generation to explore and express their comedic talents.

As the curtains rise on this laughter-filled venture, Beaches Comedy Club is poised to become a staple in the Panama City Beach entertainment scene. Mark your calendars for the grand opening weekend, and get ready to laugh your cares away at Beaches Comedy Club! https://www.beachescomedyclub.com/
