Crow’s Nest: Santa Cruz

Coming down to the wire, Preliminary Round One ends at what will surely be a packed Crow’s Nest.

A photo finish is expected.

What a place to announce the first five Semifinalists at the end of the evening, at the best restaurant in town.

The Crows Nest has earned a reputation of being a very notorious venue. It’s close to the water which is good because someone might sleep with the fishes tonight.

As a final night of the first week, some comics are giving it their all for a chance to break into the Semifinals. Some kick back and enjoy themselves. Some of them have snap sets where all the stress of the week comes out, but the audience enjoys it either way.

It’s a fantastic show and not one to miss.

We have 15 comics on the bill. Five advance to the Semifinals. The rest go home.

Tickets are only available at the door.

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.
