The owner of D.C. Improv was found dead Wednesday morning in a hotel room in the Phoenix area, according to media reports.
Martin Anderson, 60, had been reported missing from Oklahoma City by his wife in mid-May. Media outlets reported that it was not clear how long Anderson had been at the Days Inn in Buckeye, Ariz.
According to a flyer circulated when he was missing, Anderson had last been seen in San Diego. The flyer also stated that he may have needed medical attention.
Shortly before Anderson was reported missing, he announced that the Tempe Improv was closing June 1. Media outlets reported that Anderson had accused a competing comedy club of poaching comics that used to play regularly at his Tempe, Ariz., venue.
