Summer comedy heats up the Firehouse Arts Center Theater in Pleasanton on Saturday night, July 21, at 8:00 p.m. SF Comedy Competition Champion for 2017, Ellis Rodriguez is hailed as one of the fastest rising young comedy stars on the circuit. Opening for Ellis is Anthony K, the stand-up comic from Modesto, and finalist at the Big Sky Comedy Festival.
Ellis Rodriguez is a favorite at comedy clubs up and down the West Coast, including the Improv, Laugh's Unlimited, Tommy T's, PepperBelly's, and the Laugh Factory. He has also performed in filmed showcases including Shaq's All Star Jam, Laugh's On FOX, and Comedy Central & Kevin Hart's Hart of the City.
Born in Boston, Ellis is "by far the funniest" of nine children raised by loving immigrant parents from Panama. Living in a multi-racial, uni-cultural family gave him a unique perspective on life, notes Ellis. "I grew up speaking Spanish at home, English at church, and Ebonics in school."
Known as "a smart and insightful performer," Ellis' comedy is appealing to all audiences. He spent his early twenties serving in the United States Marine Corps, but notes that he found his true calling when he picked up a mic, entertaining anyone who would listen.
Guest "comedian on the rise" is Anthony K. Anthony was voted Best Comedian in Modesto, and was a top 5 finalist in the largest festival in the US (Big Sky Comedy Festival.) With a wry, sarcastic outlook, Anthony K's comedy gives voice to life's annoyances and truths. His style is eminently authentic and relatable, earning him the respect of local and regional comics, many of whom he has shared the stage with, including: Rich Vos, Bobby Slayton, Deon Cole and Craig Shoemaker. He is a writer, podcaster, and performer whose appeal spans racial and gender, and generational lines. Anthony has worked at iconic venues like the San Jose Improv, the Punchline and the Purple Onion in San Francisco, Laughs Unlimited and his hometown favorite, the Fat Cat in Modesto.
