The Greater Than Social Club debuted Wednesday night at Lannie’s Clocktower Cabaret with A. Tom Collins and comedian Sean Patton.

The marriage of music and comedy is often an uneasy one, as countless bands and stand-ups have found over the years. But when it’s done right (see David Cross and his early 2000s Sub Pop tour, Bonnarroo’s comedy tent, South by Southwest, etc.) it provides a unique space in which the two art forms complement each other– or at least a drunken variety show in which it’s impossible to get bored.
