This is a pinback button from the Comedy Warehouse at Pleasure Island. I never saw this button for sale so I asked around about it and was told that this button was only given to people who were picked to participate in the show.
The Comedy Warehouse show was not a traditional comedy club show but more of an improve show like Second City. People from the audience were picked to participate in some of the "acts". One of the memorable bits of audience participation was when one of the onstage cast members would make a phone call from the stage. A phone on the wall in the audience would then ring. The audience member would have to answer the phone and then participate in the show.
Drinks at the Comedy Warehouse were served from "Laffer's Keg Shack". This was a little stand outside on the street. We would always go up and get our drinks while we were waiting in line and bring them in with us. You could get the drinks in refillable "sports bottles".
Here is a pinback button they used to give to younger guests at The Yachtsman Steakhouse at the Yacht Club Resort. It's made of molded plastic.
