AnotherNew York City institutionhas closed after the city shuttered comedy clubs amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Trent announced the closurein a Facebook post.
The Creek & The Cave is not going to reopen.
(Most would say Im already there.)
It was also a regular performance spot for comics likeColin Quinn, who workshopped his one-man showUnconstitutionalthere.
Trent seemed to acknowledge some of this in her announcement of the clubs closure.
I know my time at the helm of the Creek wasnt everyones favorite.
There were times when I was too angry, too outspoken, too passionate, too much.
I took chances on people and offered stage time to everyone as fairly as I could.
When I finally went everyone couldnt have been nicer.
one of the few times my dad has seen me do comedy live was at this place.
at the end of the set he asked “so are you planning to make money doing this?”
It was a unique venue and remained true the vision of its owner@rebelcave.
She backed comics even when it was unpopular to do so.
Many of them didnt return the favor.
They were cool people.
Especially bad news when an independent club goes down.
When the city loses its culturals it loses its heart.
