The Function – San Francisco – Late Show
The 49th San Francisco Comedy Competition makes a late-night stop in San Francisco at the Function, with 16 new comics competing to advance to the Semifinals. Only five advance; the rest walk home. Round Two features comics from around the world making their first appearance in the United States.
The Function offers one of the best nights of the San Francisco Comedy Competition because you can see a wide range of comics emerging from around North America in one venue.
Tickets are available at the door.

Schedule Change
Due to a scheduling oopsie, this show was originally scheduled at the Guild Theatre. We apologize for the inconvenience. That is, unless you were not planning to attend that show. Now we can apologize for the convenience of hosting a show in the middle of the San Francisco comedy scene. See you there.
