No Filter, No Apologies, Just Laughs: Inside Florida’s Most Fearless Comedy Club

Published on

Local commercial real estate mogul Cassandra Hartford, known for securing billions of dollars in commercial transactions, has taken on a new challenge—securing billions of laughs. She’s the founder of the Space Coast’s most popular comedy club: Triggered.

Fittingly located inside the Frog Bones shooting range in Melbourne, Triggered Comedy Club is what Cassandra calls a “safe space” for raw, uncut, and unfiltered comedy—material that will make you cringe as much as it makes you laugh. If you’re thin-skinned or not a fan of boundary-pushing humor, she suggests Disney+ may be more your speed. While shooting ranges are often champions of the Second Amendment, this one proudly flexes its love for the First through its partnership with Triggered and its uncensored, hysterical speech.

Triggered officially opened in March 2025 and has experienced what Hartford calls “good problems”—like routinely selling out of seats. Fortunately, there’s no shortage of beer and food, courtesy of the Double Tap Grill located within the venue. Just be warned: eating during the show might be hazardous, as laughter-induced choking is a real risk. The acts are as plentiful as they are talented. Well-known comedians have already made audiences howl at Triggered, and Cassandra herself is quickly becoming a rising star in the comedy industry.

She was recently featured on the iconic national comedy show Kill Tony, filmed at Joe Rogan’s Comedy Mothership in Austin, Texas—now streaming on Netflix. Austin is fast becoming the new capital of comedy, rivaling New York and LA. At the same time, the Space Coast has quietly served as a launchpad for dozens of now world-famous comics. On that note, Hartford is currently in her fifth round of casting for a well-known national television show—one she hopes to film, at least in part, at Triggered. While she’s keeping the name of the show under wraps for now, its impact could catapult both her personal brand and the club onto a much larger stage.

Triggered currently hosts shows every other Friday night, featuring up to six comics per event. By year’s end, shows will be scheduled weekly. “It’s about quality, not quantity,” Cassandra says. “We aren’t just putting anyone on stage to fill time. We want you laughing so hard and so long that you lose track of time. This is one of the only places where you can leave offended and happy at the same time.”

As Triggered continues to pack the house and push comedic boundaries, it’s clear this Melbourne-born club isn’t just a venue—it’s a movement. With a fearless founder, a loyal following, and a mic that doesn’t censor, Triggered Comedy Club is putting the Space Coast on the map in a whole new way. Whether you’re there to laugh, gasp, or both, one thing’s certain: nobody leaves Triggered without feeling something—and that’s exactly the trigger point.

And if Cassandra Hartford has her way, it won’t remain the best-kept secret in Melbourne—it’ll become the epicenter of a comedic revolution. Just don’t forget to bring your sense of humor… and maybe a helmet.
