Resilient Comedy is a new monthly comedy series produced by Lisa Geduldig of Kung Pao Kosher Comedy and other Bay Area comedy shows. It launched in March 2025 and will take place one Sunday a month at the Eclectic Box, an 80-seat black box theater in San Francisco's Mission District.
Staying sane in current times is going to mean taking time to experience joy and laughter. The shows will also raise awareness and funds for organizations doing life-saving work.
Each month, partial proceeds will benefit a different organization. Partial proceeds for the August show will benefit CHIRLA (Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles)

Featuring Josh Kornbluth, Betsy Salkind as RFK Jr, Emily Van Dyke, and Lisa Geduldig.
