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.
