Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
The club owner at the Funny Farm in Youngstown, Ohio, charged the guest for his meal, which resulted in the guest owing more than his performance fee.
The finding
What remains unresolved
This is a personal story about a swordfish dinner, a wine bill of about $380 and a $400 weekend fee. The only source is the guest telling it. The club is real, but I found no news report, review or other record of this meal or bill. A statement from the club or another comic who was there would settle it.
No supporting source was captured. This finding should not be treated as a sourced conclusion.
