This is going to be pretty awesome.

theodoric · March 17, 2009, 5:02 PM

There haven't been enough shows at the PU. We'll have to walk over and check it out.

drieux · March 19, 2009, 10:29 AM

Looks like I'm going to be performing at the April 15th show. Awesome.

scamboogah · March 23, 2009, 3:09 PM

It is important that this show succeed.

No bullshit, if this show gets good crowds, it could become THE inexpensive alternative to a night at the Punchline or Cobbs. In other words, something that this city sorely needs.

Currently, SF comedy is either open mic, super small rooms, or the big time clubs. It really needs a medium sized space that can show off the best locals, and still accommodate out of town acts that want to do a drop in before making their money over the weekend.

Chad and Jeff are committed to making this the best weekly show in Northern California, so don't let them down by sitting home and playing Resident Evil 6 or whatever.

IT'S THIS WEDNESDAY!! IT'S DIRT CHEAP!!! WHO'S WITH ME??!!!

drieux · March 24, 2009, 5:14 AM

Agreed, Scammy. The Purple Onion is a fantastic spot to see a comedy show and we could really use a venue specializing in local comics - there are a ton of great people coming up in the Bay Area right now.

Speaking of, the headliner this week is Kris Tinkle - he's hilarious, he's one of the nicest guys you could ever hope to meet and even though I've seen him a ton I always look forward to seeing what he comes up with, each and every set. THIS WEDNESDAY!

Comedy Speakasy

Meen Bellpeppers · March 24, 2009, 9:24 AM

Support your local Meen, only go to the Punchline.

drieux · March 24, 2009, 9:36 AM

I love the Punchline, but these Wednesday nights are gonna be fantastic.

And when I go to the Punchline, I specifically say, "by the way, fuck Meen."

theodoric · March 24, 2009, 1:32 PM

1 block west to the Purple Onion, 2 blocks east to the Punch Line.

Q: Which is it gonna be?

A: Wherever the best bill is.

scamboogah · March 25, 2009, 7:22 PM

Goddammit, I'm all talk.

I gotta work and am going to miss this GREAT, GREAT show...

Go if you can. I'll be there in miserable spirit.

drieux · March 26, 2009, 5:43 AM

This was a great show and a solid crowd for the inaugural Comedy Speakeasy at the Purple Onion. Good times.

Although, we were all like, "where's Scammy? Where could he be? I hope he's not hurt or anything."

(that definitely didn't happen)

drieux · March 27, 2009, 8:27 AM

Special Joe Tobin bump!!

drieux · April 8, 2009, 3:50 PM

TOBIN!!!!

This is a fun lineup tonight...and I think in a couple of years Janine is going to be blowing up like crazy. Comedy nerds, go see her now and get in on the uber-coolness. You can say you saw her way back in 2009 and you KNEW she was going to be one of the biggest comics ever.

scamboogah · April 9, 2009, 10:00 AM

Great show last night.

Drew, you're so right about Janine Brito. She's got chops like a karate dojo.

drieux · April 9, 2009, 10:37 AM

I know. I'd be jealous but she's also one of the nicest people I've ever met.

Speaking of Janine, it looks like she's doing a guest set tonight at the Punchline. So, Sean Keane, Janine Brito, Kevin Camia and W. Kamau Bell. If anybody is contemplating what to do tonight, that would be your best comedy bet for sure.

(I'll probably be at the Brainwash trying to suck slightly less)

scamboogah · April 9, 2009, 10:47 AM

Brito!!
