[I’d like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the readers of this blog. The notoriety and momentum of this experiment/experience is as yours as it is mine. Thank you to the San Francisco Bay Area comedy community for being the best comedy scene in the country (as far as I know), thanks to the Internet for keeping everything scattered and revelatory, thanks to Dana Sitar whom I’m sure had a hand in my humble embarrassment for the last few days, thanks to Emily Heller for inspiring CC’s inception (see: Sex Talk With Kaseem), thanks to David Cairns for saving Courting Comedy, and thanks to all those that deserve it (artist, photographers, producers, luminaries, content creators, dreamers, hustlers, and champions). While the anniversary is a month away, I look forward to YEAR THREE with pride and humility. - O.J.]

Prepare to laugh your collars into permanent pop-dom, as San Francisco comics hit the stage for LOL for LLS, a fundraiser for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society as part of the 2012 Mr. Marina Competition.

12 of San Francisco’s funniest young comedians will come together April 24, along with host and Mr. Marina finalist Eric Barry for a night of hilarious standup comedy. All proceeds from the event will go towards Eric’s fundraising efforts, one of the criterion upon which the Mr. Marina finalists are judged.

Mr. Marina is a fundraising competition poking fun at the stereotypes of San Francisco’s Marina District, while raising money for LLS. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society helps blood cancer patients live better, longer lives through cancer research and community programs.

 

Hosted by Eric Barry

The event will be held at Milk on Haight/Stanyan. 10% of all bar proceeds will also benefit Eric’s fundraising campaign. Comedian Stefan Davis will also be donating 50% of sales from his comedy CD at the event. All donations (including ticket purchases) are tax-deductible. 

The event is free, but we strongly encourage you to show your support for blood cancer research by purchasing a paying ticket or making an in-person donation at the event.
