Two Great Comedy Classes; One Great Price!

Comedians love what they do. They love what they do so much, many of them never get paid work yet keep going! But let's face it: That feeling of satisfaction is so much greater when it comes attached to a paycheck, right?

On Saturday February 25, Rooster T. Feathers is offering two great classes designed to help you get paid work and gain fans to keep your career going. Take one, or both! $35 for each class, or $50 if you take both.

got work?

Are you wondering…
…why you're not getting booked?
…why other people are getting booked and you’re not?
…if you're ready to get booked?
…what bookers want?
…what is the next step to get paid comedy work?
…if your promotional materials are up to snuff?
…who to call? And when?
If you want the answers to these questions, and more, you should get them from an expert in the field. Someone who books comedians for a full-time professional comedy club, who knows agents and managers. Someone who is honest and not afraid to tell it like it is....Wait a minute....We know someone like that! This one-and-a-half hour class is led by Heather Barbieri, veteran comedian and owner/booker of Rooster T. Feathers.
Saturday, February 25, 1:00pm, $35

Social Media Marketing for Comedians

Do you have a fan page? Are you blogging? What's your Klout score? When’s the best time to tweet? Have you claimed a unique URL for your Facebook page? Do you even know what that means? The Internet has changed the way comedians promote themselves and opened up huge opportunities to gain fans around the globe, but it can also be overwhelming. This class will show you how to make the most of the free tools now available to comics online, manage your online “image,” promote yourself to bookers, grow fans and share original content. This one-and-a-half-hour session is taught by comedian and Roosters' marketing manager, Beth Schumann.
Saturday, February 25, 3:00pm, $35

Both classes will be held in Roosters' showroom, 157 W. El Camino Real, Sunnyvale, CA 94087. To secure your spot, email roosterbookings@yahoo.com or call 408.736.0921.

December 23 and 26 is the Home for the Holidays Comedy Showcase, featuring some of our favorite Bay Area, L.A. and New York comedians who have come back home for the holidays. (Get it? That's where the name comes from!) On December 23 you can see headliner Joe Klocek from Live at Gotham top off a the show hosted by Roosters' own Beth Schumann.

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.
