Membership has it rewards....and Roosters' has its Memberships!

Congrats to Bao "Dan" L. of San Jose...our newest VIR! Friday the 13th was Dan's lucky day. His legibly-written comment card was pulled out of the bucket at the end of that night's show. Dan won a free six-month VIR (Very Important Rooster) membership, giving him free entry to any regular Roosters' show and big discounts on Special Event shows!

A VIR member is entitled to unlimited admission to all regular shows and 30% off all Special Event show tickets. Other perks include front of the line privileges for yourself and one paid guest, and advanced seating on a priority basis (reservations required for priority seating). A VIR card is just $100 for a six-month membership and $175 for an annual membership. At $18 per person as the average Friday/Saturday show price, your annual VIR membership pays for itself in fewer than 10 shows, leaving approximately 250 shows you can see for FREE!

We haven't raised prices on VIR memberships since 2007, even though our average show prices have increased a little, so it is a GREAT deal. As you can see from the image, we still have a few VIR cards left over that have the old RTF logo featuring the Dandy Rooster. Not only will you get a great deal on show entry, you'll get a piece of collectible history!

SMALL PRINT
As always, you must be 21 or over with a valid ID and there is a two-item minimum purchase requirement at each show.

SMALLER PRINT
Roosters' reserves the right to refuse service to anyone at any time. Once purchased there are no refunds on VIR memberships and the card is non-transferable and not redeemable for cash.

If you'd like a V.I.R. for yourself or a friend, give us a call at 408.736.0921 for details. We can take your payment info over the phone and put your card in the mail so you can start saving sooner rather than later!

Comedy Day Turns 30 (but doesn't look a day over 29)!

Sunday, September 19, Noon--5:00pm
Sharon Meadow * Golden Gate Park * San Francisco

The Annual Comedy Day festival is like the company picnic for the San Francisco Bay Area comedy community. Comedians, club management and other industry folks eat barbecue, drink beer and catch up behind the stage. In front of the stage, thousands of Bay area comedy fans sit on blankets sipping wine and slapping their knees. On the stage is a cavalcade of comedians...some Bay Area legends, some Home Town Heroes and some up and comers...all hilarious. Probably 30 or 40 comedians or more. Some of the names Roosters' customers will recognize include Diane Amos ("The Pine-Sol Lady"), Larry "Bubbles" Brown, Will Durst, David Feldman, Grant Lyon, Mark Pitta, Greg Proops, Bob Sarlatte, Johnny Steele and more!

Here's links to a couple fun videos put together by Roosters' Favorite and Local Legend Mark Pitta showcasing Comedy Day back in the early days. Click here for the 1984 Comedy Day, and here for the 1988 Comedy Day.

Last year Roosters' Comedy Day set featured three of our favorite local comedians, Mike E. Winfield, Sammy Obeid and Beth Schumann. You can watch those performances below.
