Those looking to have a laugh will now be able to do so at Bryan-College Station's first bona fide comedy club.

"How am I going to make this club fun? Well, that's all I do -- I make things fun. I never do a job that I don't love," said Olly iConic, founder and owner of the new comedy club, Olly iConix.

The comedy club, opening today, is bringing in respected talent from around the country, as well as featuring local talent and offering classes such as general public speaking, comedy defensive driving, comedy writing and stand-up comedy lessons.

Today's grand opening feature comedian Dan LaMorte as the headliner. He will be performing shows at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. at the club, located at the bottom level of The LaSalle Hotel. At age 23, LaMorte was the youngest comic passed at the Comedy Cellar in New York City. His debut comedy album, Not Enough Pieces, was a best-seller in 2017.

Local talent Travis Jellison will be the opening act. He was handpicked by iConic, who has been a comedy name in the area for the past five years. He's been hosting stand-up comedy open-mic nights at Revolution Café and Bar since 2016.
