Denver’s comedy scene may be nationally renowned, but that hasn’t stopped a succession of local performance venues from closing or moving. The latest is Wide Right, a Ballpark neighborhood restaurant, bar and hangout for Denver comedy fans and stand-ups. Owner Meghan DePonceau wrote on Facebook on Aug. 28 that the spot would close permanently in December. The closure arrives with the separate news that the Denver Comedy Underground venue would also close at its current location — both announcements arriving just a few days before this week’s High Plains Comedy Festival, when the stand-up world’s spotlight briefly turns to Denver. The fest takes place at the Paramount Theatre and in several South Broadway venues Sept.
