IT DON’T COME EASY, BABY!
IT’s incongruous, but a story about a wonderful happening must begin with a regrettable phrase: bad things come in threes. That’s because Frankie Marcos, the 2024 San Francisco Comedy Competition champ from San Jose, suffered a few serious mishaps on his way to winning.
The Final Top Five
After sharpening our pencils, adding up all of the scores, and double-checking our math, we are finally ready to reveal the final Top Five.
The Final Show in Marin
After 20 shows since August, the 48th San Francisco Comedy Competition finds itself at the very last show. They say all good things must come to an end, but did it have to include this show?
Arroyo Grande Was Dry!
Every show in the run has unique challenges, but tonight at Clark Center was pretty unique. They could not sell alcohol because there was a high school football game nearby. So the “Big Creek” show was a dry one. It didn’t matter, the audience loved the show.
