Opened fall 2021 — 5535 Saint Joe Road
The succession: The Snickerz room did not stay dark in the long run. In September 2021 Whatzup, the city's entertainment paper, reported Summit City Comedy Club scheduled to open that fall at 5535 St. Joe Road — the Snickerz address — and Input Fort Wayne's scene history confirms the club "has come to the area, opening in late 2021" and "took over where Snickerz was originally located." Fort Wayne Magazine's April 2023 account completes the sequence: "A half dozen years after Snickerz Comedy Club closed, Summit City Comedy Club opened in its space," and the magazine credits the new room with regularly bringing "the nation's top comedic talent" to the city — the house characterization, attributed. The club's own early web presentation billed the room with photographs of Bob Saget, Taylor Tomlinson, Pauly Shore, and Leanne Morgan; those names are printed here as the club's own billing, not as documented played dates, which the record reached does not separately confirm. Touring headliner Dustin Nickerson's announced return engagement at the club is the documented pattern: a full-time national-circuit room again, in the same Canterbury space where the circuit first played Fort Wayne in 1984.
