George McKelvey died of a stroke in Hemet, CA,
reports the Denver Post.
After moving to Denver, McKelvey helped found Comedy Works, George McKelvey's Comedy Club in Aurora and Wit's End, all safe havens for a string of national acts, including Jerry Seinfeld, Ellen De Generes and Roseanne Barr.
"He was a big part of our history," said Comedy Works owner Wende Curtis. "Before him there really wasn't a comedy scene in Denver."
