Every month Bergeron's brings you the best stand up comedians the Bay Area has to offer at "The Book Was Better" Comedy Show. The amazing Japanese style fried chicken of Abura-Ya will also be available during the show! There will be a 10% discount on merchandise for audience members that want to stick around afterwards. $10 admission.
March's Headliner is: Sammy Obeid
Lebanese-Palestinian-Syrian-Italian-American, born in Oakland, California, Sammy Obeid (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook) is best known for his 1,001 day streak of consecutive comedy performances. It began on December 26th, 2010, and concluded on September 21st, 2013– four days after an appearance on TBS’s Conan. Breaking the old world record on Day 731, Sammy set the new one at 1,001 Arabian Nights of Comedy.
Over the course of the streak, he appeared on NBC’s America’s Got Talent and advanced to the Las Vegas round, and became the first comedian to perform on The Food Network. Splitsider conducted an extensive interview with him entering the home stretch. LA Weekly praised Sammy’s “sheer force of will” in performance and lifestyle, and LA Mag recommended his show highly. He was profiled in TIME Magazine, followed soon after by an article in the New York Times. Published on his final day, it describes his material as “full of wordplay” and “clever misdirection.”
Also on the lineup:
- Kelly Anneken (SF Punchline, Cobbs, and podcast co-host on Downtown Abbey's "Up Yours, Downstairs")
- Matt Gubser (Sacramento comedy fest, Ha Ha Heathens Comedy Tour)
- Kate Willett ( SF Punchline, Cobbs, Co-founder of the "Mission Position")
- Josef Anolin (SF Punchline, Cobbs, SJ Improv)
- Hosted by Irene Tu (SF Sketchfest, Limestone Comedy Festival)
