1/11. The Business @ The Dark Room. 2263 Mission St. SF. 8PM. $5. Featuring Sean Keane, Bucky Sinister, Clare O’Kane, Caitlin Gill, Chris Thayer, and George Chen.
The Business welcomes two first-time guests to the show, and welcomes two new Businessmen to our regular lineup. Or should we say - BusinessWOMEN. Well, a Businessman and a Businesswoman - Caitlin Gill and Chris Thayer! And our two guests are Clare O’Kane and George Chen.
Clare O’Kane is a rising comedian and actress making her way on the scene. She often performs with the infamous Sylvan Collective, and has acted at the Edinburgh Festival. She starred in the film “Bloodrape” as “Evelyn,” and IMDB credits her as a Researcher for “An Audience With Elton John,” a TV special produced when she was eight years old.
George Chen is a Bay Area bred writer and musician. His credits for talking at you include Porchlight Storytelling Series and the Living Room Salon at SF MOMA. He organized a comedy show on a bus and in a comic book store. He’s writing this while watching a Species marathon.
Chris and Caitlin have performed on The Business many times in the past, and we’re excited to have them on board from now on. Chris has performed at SF Sketchfest and the Bridgetown Comedy Festival, and produced his own show NERVES! Caitlin founded the Ladies Room comedy showcase, remains the longtime dirty haiku champion of Tourette’s Without Regrets, and has performed at poetry slams and inside boxing rings.
They’ve been guests, but come Wednesday, we’ll see how they hold up to the pressure of being a regular. Heavy is the hand that holds the microphone, though light is the finger that administers the Facebook invite. And heavy is the tummy that orders the super burrito from Cancun, available just across the street. 8 PM. Five bucks. No Chris and Alex, but we’ll have memories that will last a lifetime.(via The Business)
[AWESOME LINE-UP! TOTALLY BIASED CAPS LOCK]

![11/30. The Business: Sylvan Spectacular @ Dark Room Theater. 2263 Mission St. SF. 8PM. $5. Feat Sylvan Productions, OJ Patterson, Matt Gubser, Bucky Sinister and Sean Keane.
Tuesday night, Sylvan Productions has their final open improv show at the Dark Room. Wednesday, they’re the guest of honor at The Business, as we say goodbye to our Dark Roommates, and say hello to a new era of SF comedy. If that weren’t enough, we’ve also got comedians Matt Gubser and O.J. Patterson - plus regular Businessmen Sean and Bucky.Sylvan Productions has done a wildly popular Open Improv show at the Dark Room every Tuesday, which moves to the SUB/Mission starting in December. They also produce a five-hour comedy show every Wednesday at the Dirty Trix Saloon, and this Friday, their Producers Show comes to Dirty Trix as well. Their shows may be heavily improv’ed, but they could hardly be improved.Matt Gubser is an SF comedian with the hair of a handsomer Jesus Christ and the wit of a sassier Judas Iscariot. He performs at all the finest clubs and showcases in the Bay Area, and he’s also a potter, as if that’s fair at all. O.J. Patterson is a rising star who recently opened for Hannibal Buress. His blog, Courting Comedy (http://courtingcomedy.tumblr.com/) is a living document of the local scene and your best source for Holy City Zoo photos.The show gets started at 8, and admission is still just five bucks. Are you going to be there? The answer is, “Yes, and…”
[I’m deeply honored to be placed on this show. Performing with the Business has been a personal dream and I’m glad to do it with my friends.]](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvg845iWaK1qcxc43o1_500.jpg)
