The Battery: San Francisco (Private Show)

The second Opening Night of the 49th San Francisco Comedy Competition kicks off with 16 comics making their first appearance from around the world. Only five advance, the rest walk home. Round One also at the Battery. For club members, the show takes place in the Parlor Bar.

Doors open at 7:00 PM, so get there early, grab a good seat, and get ready to laugh.

This is a private show, not open to the public. However, there is a show a few miles away at The Function on Saturday, September 6 and Saturday, August 30.

Performers

Your Host: Dan Lewis

Dan Lewis is a stand-up comedian based in Brooklyn, NY, though he originally hails from Detroit, MI. Despite years on the West Coast, he still clings to his Midwestern sensibilities, which make him feel out of place at artisanal pickle tastings and rooftop ketamine parties. 
Winner of the 2022 East Bay Comedy Competition, Dan is a regular at San Francisco Punch Line, Cobb’s Comedy Club, San Jose Improv, and Rooster T. Feathers Comedy Club. He can otherwise be found performing at local theaters, bars, bowling alleys, and the occasional Russian bathhouse.

About The Competition

It’s a hilarious evening, where you will see the comedy stars of tomorrow competing for their chance at fame and fortune. Hundreds of comedians audition each year to compete, but only 32 are chosen.
