Jiggles no more: Giggles returning to former home
SEATTLE -- Two years after Jiggles Gentlemen's Club opened on a pun and a prayer (and was subsequently closed on a litany of zoning violations), its original incarnation, Giggles Comedy Club, is being resurrected. Sort of.
Giggles served the University District for 25 years until owner Bob Davis decided to convert it to a strip club called Jiggles in December 2010, despite the building being within 800 feet of a school, childcare center, community center and public park.
Even with a history of winning hundreds of thousands of dollars from local municipalities in strip-club-related lawsuits and a half-page ad claiming the city hates people who create jobs, Davis lost his court cases over Jiggles. And, the city shut the business down in March 2011.
Now, Luxe sports bar, which recently opened in the space, is bringing Giggles back, at least in name.
Starting March 24, the bar at 5220 Roosevelt Way N.E. will host the oddly punctuated Giggle's Comedy at Luxe every Sunday night. The free shows will feature local and national comics.
Meanwhile, the city's reporters wait patiently for the next pun-related zoning controversy.
What a shame, sometimes I like to sit down in a strip club, I guess I'll be sticking with the drive-through versions in south Everett
This place would still be open if the women wore Birkenstocks, sock, no make up and sweater.
Oh can't forget the no wash hair look.LOL
@Mulvah @EricJensenKomo Here, we just have moralists who shut down strip clubs and replace them with blocks and blocks of blight.

@Andrew Pollow @Tacobender50 What are you talking about, stay on subject.
@Tacobender50Â

@papoon @Tacobender50 You must be vaganised
@papoon @Tacobender50 What are you talking about?
@Tacobender50Â @papoon Who's talking? I'm typing!!
@TheNewsChick YAY!
Oh how I wish Hooters would have opened a location here.Â
Just more unconstitutional religious laws. There should be no zoning laws that can ban strip clubs. Just religious zealots in government trying to dictate how people live their lives.
You have obviously never been to Lake City. Can't say we wanted our neighborhood to become that.
I dont get why anyone would want to sit in a room full of horny men watching a woman strip. Thats freakin weird. Comedy is better.
@Andrew Pollow Its not everyone's cup of tea just like some don't like Football, Basketball, Soccer, Opera, Theater or Sea Fair.  But do we really want the government deciding what willing adults can enjoy.  Any to cut off any argument I am completely fine with prostitution and would be fine if this was a brothel.
@TheNewsChick Someone should ask @RobRiggle what he thinks about it. #Riggles #Giggles #Jiggles

They should just make it a topless comedy joint!
@aintno1special If I have one complaint about seeing Louis C.K. a few months ago, it is not enough partial nudity. Would it have killed him to do a few jokes shirtless?
@MichaelHarthorne My one complaint would have to be the people who were sitting where they weren't supposed to, blocking me from seeing the first 10-15 minutes of the show while the ushers tried to figure it out.
@Illuminati @MichaelHarthorne Did they have KOMO jackets on?
