Washington Inn: Oakland

We’re bringing 15 comics for the 48th San Francisco Comedy Competition to Oakland for opening night of Preliminary Round Two. They will be coming from far and wide because touring comedians prefer round two. This is a great opportunity to see emerging comedy talent from around the world.

Only five of these comedians advance to the Semifinals.

Your Host: Samson Koletkar

Samson Koletkar, a.k.a. Mahatma Moses, is the world’s only Indian Jewish Stand-Up Comedian! Growing up in Mumbai, he spent most of his childhood years burning the midnight candles for earning a Masters Degree in Computer Software, thereby fulfilling his Indian-Jewish parents’ dreams. He then moved half-way across the world to the technology headquarters and comedy hotbed – San Francisco.

Samson’s comedy is a unique blend of his Indian background, Jewish roots, and American life. His clean comedy has been described as cerebral, witty, & refreshing, and he has entertained audiences across USA, Canada, & India. He has been featured on NPR, NBC, CBS, NDTV, The Times of India, Indian Express, Ha’aretz, Asian Jewish Life, and more.
