Largo at the Coronet is known for its devoted community of critically acclaimed performers and fiercely loyal patrons who have made it into a “family” affair. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this dedicated Largo family—which just so happens to include A-list comedians and musicians—has not only helped Largo stay afloat, but has also gone to bat for the National Independent Venues Association’s (NIVA) Save Our Stages movement to help ensure financial relief for venues large and small across the country. We sat down with Largo’s owner and manager Mark “Flanny” Flanagan to learn more about the critical role he undertook on the NIVA team and about how Largo’s eclectic roster of artists lent a hand.
