Comedy on Marco Island
Television shows like The Tonight Show took Stand-up to television and launched the careers of many stand-up comics. But where did it come from? Stand-up comedy is an American creation evolving from the 1800's minstrel shows. The term "Stand-up Comic" first officially appeared in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1966.

On Marco Island there is a place you can go to enjoy Stand-up comedy - at the Off The Hook Comedy Club at Capt. Brien's Seafood and Raw Bar at the southern end of Marco Island across the street from the Hilton Hotel in the Marco Walk Plaza.
