COMEDY CLUB ON TOUR TO MAKE STOP AT RUTHERFORD'S

Comedy Club on Tour, featuring comedians from across the country, will take center stage Saturday night at Rutherford's in the Plaza Galleria in Cape Girardeau.

The comedy tour, which opened last week, will feature Randy Howard and John Hope Saturday beginning at 8 p.m.

The 90-minute show will take place in the new Club Room at Rutherford's.

Howard is a recording artist with Warner Brothers, Atlantic and Upton Records. He performs songs and stand-up comedy, having opened for Hank Williams Jr., Greg Alman and Willie Tyler and Lester.

He has also appeared at the Charlie Daniels Volunteer Jam, Nashville Now and Entertainment Tonight. Howard is known affectionately in the industry as the "All-American Redneck."

Hope, who is also a singer and comedian, has appeared with the Marshall Tucker Band. Tickets for the show are on sale daily after 4 p.m. at Rutherford's. Reservations may be made by calling 334-6264. Groups are welcome.

The Club Room will be open at 7 p.m. with food served until 10 p.m. Tickets for the show are good for admission to Rutherford's Retro-Rock Dance Party held in the Club Room from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.

The Comedy Club On Tour is held in conjunction with the Comedy Club in Evansville, Ind. It will be featured every Saturday night at Rutherford's.

"We're trying to make Saturday night's more special," said Rutherfords owner Ron Mix. "We're catering our entertainment to a little older crowd that night. It's a good night for couples with the comedy show followed by good old rock and roll dancing in our new Club Room."
