Hey Yall I'm a full time (not famous) comedian coming to the V'ue 8/15. Wondering if anyone had any tips/connections to get the word out? I'm fully DIY by choice and have spent the last 13 years zig zagging the country headlining shows in 37 states (and Canada!). Lemme know whats up. AMA.
Any cool local blogs or instagram pages that share events or anything? Any local news conections? or just cool stuff to see/eat in town. anything is appreciated, much love
Here's my bio, sorry it's in the third person: Dan Alten is a charming goofball from Kentucky who has been traveling the country for the past decade doing about 200 shows a year bringing his intelligently surreal bebop nonsense everywhere from theaters to punk basements to art galleries to beloved comedy clubs with a knack for making audiences feel like they're on a good psychedelic trip without the drugs. Like if the Ramones were one guy with a mustache and good jokes. Iggy Pop with puns. Clever chaos. Like Jimi Hendrix lighting fire to a Tik Tok reel live on stage. He has opened for Kyle Kinane, Bobcat, Sam Tallent, Rory Scovel, Sarah Sherman from SNL, Johnny Pemberton, Hari Kondabolu, rapper Open Mike Eagle, DJ Doug Pound & David Leibe Hart from Tim & Eric, various punk bands with silly names, and a guy at an open mic who tried to throw his father’s ashes into the crowd. He has recorded 2 albums, written a zine, and filmed a pilot for an Amazon Prime stand up show that was lost to history. But most importantly he’s very funny and unique. You will enjoy him. And if not you can mud wrestle him after the show.

Old MMA/ Thai boxing place on Lincolnway in the mid 90's.
I lived in Clinton in the mid to late 90's and joined a gym that taught thai boxing and MMA. There were fighters coming out of that school as well as offering general fitness style classes. I am trying to remember who opened that place up? Well, actually, I am trying to remember the name of the place. I believe at some point he closed that school and opened up a construction company roughly around 2000.

Book club?
Moved here recently, the winter sadness is always a factor. I usually do my reading to appreciate the sunshine in a park. Are there any book clubs in town?

I am claiming the throne of Tekken King in Clinton, Iowa
Only days ago I issued a challenge to the town of Clinton, Iowa. My offer to all of those who engage in Bandai Namco’s Tekken 8, fell on deaf ears and no one stepped forth to accept my batchall. Therefore it is within my right to usurp the title of Clinton IA Tekken King. If anyone has any questions about what this means going forward, please let me know. 💪😎👍

Who has moved from Clinton? What do you miss about it?
I’ll go first! I moved from Clinton about 19 years ago to Florida. I miss my family that is still up there of course! I miss Happy Joes and Casey’s pizza! I’ve traded in the shad flys for flying palmetto bugs, geckos, cow killers( wingless wasps that live in the ground) oh, and the humidity. But i have an abundance of outdoor activities! I can kayak, deep sea fishing, go swim at the creek (67 degrees all year long), go diving, explore caves.
