Laughing it up at Kowloon
■ Eugene’s oldest comedy
venue presents professionals
every weekend
By Mason West
Oregon Daily Emerald
There’s nothing funny about Chi
nese food — except on Saturdays,
when Kowloon Restaurant, aka
Scandal’s night club, also takes the
title of Eugene’s oldest comedy
club, a title that owner Kit Wa is
proud to have.
“We have been doing comedy for
12 years,” Wa said.
However, this doesn’t happen
every Saturday — there is no come
dy when there are home football
games because of the traffic. Aside
from that, Wa welcomes anyone
who is older than 21.
Wa has broken barriers of the
roles restaurants traditionally play
in society. With the three sides of
his business, he has tripled his suc
cess by taking the extra risk.
“I wanted to have a true comedy
club,” Wa said. “I don’t pack the
place every time, but the customers
always support it.”
Ryan McCready, bartender at
Kowloon, is there each Saturday
night to keep people in good spirits
along with the comedy. But he
mostly leaves that to the comedi
ans.
“The comedy is of a professional
level,” McCready said.
This is a commitment that Wa
has made to the Eugene communi
ty. He has never had an “amateurs
night” or other opportunities for
the less experienced to take the
stage. Also, audiences won’t see the
same comedian at his club more
than once in at least six months, so
the laughs are always fresh.
This Saturday, Rick Birchmore
and Jack Marion are performing.

Turn to Comedy, page 7B

Jack Marion gives himself some applause while audiences are too busy laughing. The
comedian will perform at Scandal’s night club, at 2222 Centennial Blvd., on Saturday.
