The Scuttlebutt from the Crows Nest

Crows Nest Top Five - 2024 San Francisco Comedy Competition
The Crows Nest is always a wild comedy ride and tonight was no different. Why this show is so notorious has to do with the fact it is the final show of the week. The place has been doing comedy for decades and it’s reputation as a wild venue is well deserved.
Comics who thought they would place better end up having what we call a snap set, a set where they throw out their setlist and go for broke. Usually this works, but sometimes it backfires spectacularly.

Congratulations to everyone who made the Top Five in Week 1. If this was easy, it wouldn’t be much of a contest.
The next show is in Oakland where Preliminary Round Two kicks off at Comedy Oakland at the Washington Inn.
