Bankhead Theater: Livermore

The 49th San Francisco Comedy Competition takes the Finals to the Bankhead Theatre in Livermore. This show features the Top ten comics from the Competition and is hosted by Jackie Flynn.

The San Francisco Comedy Competition is one of the most prestigious comedy events in North America, launching the careers of people like Patton Oswalt, Robin Williams and Ellen DeGeneres. It’s an outrageously funny 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. Only 32 are chosen.

Performers

Performers will be announced September 7 at the Crows Nest in Santa Cruz.

Your Host: Jackie Flynn

Jackie Flynn is returning to host two shows in the San Francisco Comedy Competition. Jackie Flynn is a Boston-born comedian and actor known for his rapid-fire sarcasm and take-no-prisoners delivery. A winner of the San Francisco Comedy Competition and a Just For Laughs alumni, he’s appeared in Loudermilk, The King of Queens, Veep, and several Farrelly Brothers films including There’s Something About Mary and Me, Myself & Irene. A true comic’s comic, Flynn continues to tour nationally while stealing scenes on screens big and small.

His new Amazon special just dropped so we wanted to not only mention he’s coming back to host our Semifinal shows at the Luther Burbank Center and the Bankhead Theater, but urge you to check out his latest special, Wicked Funny.
