Valentines Day Weekend at The Comedy Cove @ Scotty's!

Love & Laughter is on the menu at Scotty's this Valentines Weekend.  Laughter is a great aphrodisiac, and unlike oysters and green M&M's, it won't give you food poisoning or make you fat.  So take your sweetheart to The Comedy Cove @ Scotty's this Valentines Weekend for the special Valentines Show starring Mike Dugan, Tim Hayes and Phil Selman.

Mike Dugan has performed extensively throughout America, appearing at comedy clubs, colleges, corporate events, and as an opening act for musical artists such as Roy Orbison, Ricki Lee Jones, Chuck Berry, Harry Belafonte, Todd Rundgren, John Hiatt, Kenny G, and Shawn Colvin.  Dugan spent two years touring his comedy through Europe and the UK while developing Men Fake Foreplay, and has had the privilege of performing "Men Fake Foreplay" in London, Paris, Amsterdam, and at the Assembly Rooms at the Edinburgh Festival in Scotland.

Mike grew up in Ramsey, NJ and began performing stand up comedy as a regular at NY's famed Catch a Rising Star in 1985.  In early 1987 he set out for San Francisco's Holy City Zoo Comedy Club to experience what was then, the hands down best comedy scene in the country, and by the end of 1988 he had won the prestigious San Francisco International Stand-Up Comedy Competition, capping off the month-long event with two shows for six thousand comedy fans at Davies Symphony Hall.  A move to Los Angeles quickly led to a shot on "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson".  Johnny Raved, and that debut has led to over seventy national television appearances, including one more spot on "Johnny" before his retirement and another appearance with Jay Leno - making Mike one of the only handful of comics to have appeared on "The Tonight Show" with both Johnny and Jay.
