Cowles says he always stopped to watch Myers set when he came in town from the very first time he saw him perform a headlining show seven years ago at Hyena s. He was the guy I was laughing out loud at like I was an audience member again, Cowles says. He had this energy and relentless machine gun of punchlines that you can tell he worked so hard on his bits. I would literally find myself laughing out loud and it blew me away that I was watching a comic who s doing this thing to me again.
Hyena s owner Randy Butler says Myers performed at his club every 10 months since 2017. He learned the sad news about Myers passing on Thursday, the day before Myers was scheduled to do a weekend of headlining shows at the chain s Dallas location on Mockingbird Lane.
