And now the comedy club’s marquee proudly reads: “Laugh Factory offers Conan O’Brien 11:30 show every night.”
While it may appear to be a publicity stunt, only insiders know that there is truth to advertising.
“Conan comes in quite often,” a Laugh Factory source says, “and it’s always unannounced.”
