Pauly Shore Files Lawsuit Against Brother Over Family Comedy Store

Comedy storeActor and Comedian Pauly Shore recently filed a lawsuit asking that he be reinstated as a member of the board that oversees his family’s comedy club and that his brother Peter turn over the club’s financial records.  

Mitzi Shore, Pauly and Peter’s mother, ran the Comedy Store, a comedy club in L.A., for many decades.  She now suffers from Parkinson’s disease, and Pauly suspects that Peter is exerting undue influence over her.  

The comedy store scouted out the talents of many famous comedians, including Robin Williams, Jim Carrey, Carlos Mencia.
