Cheers re-opens Oct. 15

According to Angie Frissore over at the Examiner, The Comedy Club at Cheers will re-open October 15 with headliner Joe Yannety. Juston McKinney will play October 16. The club, located in Faneuil Hall, went dark this spring for a summer season that is traditionally slow for the comedy club scene.

Steve Sweeney will headline October 22, after which the club will host events for the Boston Comedy Festival, including a show celebrating local veteran Bob Seibel's 30 years in comedy on November 7, and one-nighters with Kelly MacFarland and Joe Wong.

Jim McCue, who runs the Comedy Club at Cheers, is also the co-founder and current head of the Boston Comedy Festival.
