Split Sides
The Split Sides Comedy Club is a comedy club in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Description
Located at Frankfort Avenue & Jade Street in the Star Junction district of Algonquin, Liberty City, the Split Sides is intended to be one of only two places (the other being Perestroika) where the player can watch shows; inside, comedies by real-life comedians are performed in front of a live audience. It is a parody of Comic Strip Live.
Niko Bellic can visit the club by himself, with a friend, or on a date with one of his girlfriends to see performances. Two routines from Split Sides can also been seen on television while in one of Niko's safehouses.
Unlike Perestroika, the trigger to begin a Split Sides' show is located outside the club's Frankfort Avenue entrance, as opposed to Perestroika's trigger being located inside; in addition, the player cannot explore the club's interior in the same fashion as Perestroika unless aided by a third party mod that allows transportation into the club.
Routines
In GTA IV, the Split Sides originally hosts only two hosts, Ricky Gervais and Katt Williams, whom routines are repeated after a certain amount of repeated visits. The Lost and Damned exclusively includes an additional guest, Frankie Boyle.
