The family of Pete Barakat announced that the co-owner of The Funny Stop in Cuyahoga Falls passed this week at the age of 65.
CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio — The world of comedy is mourning the loss of a man who helped to launch many young careers out of his Summit County Comedy Club.
“He was a very loud man, very obnoxious; he actually heckled the comedians on stage, which I found pretty amazing,” Landau said. “It actually ended up being part of his charm, part of the reason why I ended up loving him.” As news of Barakat’s passing made its way through the comedy world, it hit former headliners like Jim Florentine hard.
“He goes, ‘Nah, just take my truck.’ I go, 'Really?' He goes, ‘Yeah, just take my truck for the day and then bring it back tonight.' No club owner would do that,” Florentine said.
