How it started
Kyle KA, the creator of Don't Tell Comedy, grew sick and tired of paying for a 2 drink minimum at comedy clubs. Kyle had so much fun at one of his friends backyard comedy shows that he started Don't Tell Comedy with the hopes of bringing top talent into fun, community settings where comedy lovers can laugh and hang out on a budget.
