Punchline Magazine (Febreuary 23, 2009) - Albany's stand-up community gets some loving
Greg Aidala is a 34 year old Albany native who has been performing stand-up comedy across the country since 2001. His production company, Radial Gage Entertainment, has been instrumental in teaching stand-up comedy classes, organizing local shows and building a comedy community in the Capital Region.

"You know, open mikes, believe me, I've done all those," said Aidala. "I've had to wait till 2 in the morning in the city to get some stage time. You get there at 9 — 'I put in half a work day to do five minutes? I can't do this.' And I didn't want anyone to do that here because that happens at open mikes."

Aidala hosts a weekly open mic called Comedy on the Park which gives local comedians a chance to work on material. Running since December and averaging up to 55, it features up to 12 performers a night with trivia/prizes in between.
