Nathan Timmel x Nato Green. The political-entangled equal opportunity barbs. The chemistry of fatherhood. The lingering brushes with banality. The new album: “The Nato Green Party”. More and such in the link.
5/28. W. Kamau Bell Farewell Show @ Stage Werx. 446 Valencia St. SF. $10. 7PM. Featuring Kevin Camia, Kaseem Bentley, Nato Green, Karinda Dobbins, Dave Thomason and more. Tickets Available: Here.
W. Kamau Bell, one of The San Francisco Bay Area’s Best Comedians, headlines a comedy showcase & says goodbye to his adopted hometown in his last local appearance before moving to NYC to star in a late night talk show for FX that will be produced by Chris Rock.
In his last SF show Kamau assembles some of his absolute favorite Bay Area comedians in order to let his hometown friends and fans know that they will be fine without him… for at least a little while.
Kamau will host the show and headline it. And also he is doing this so that his mom can see him perform while she is in town. Don’t let him disappoint his mom.
Featuring…
Kevin Camia (from Comedy Central & the CD “Kindness”)
Kaseem Bentley (Recently named by SF Weekly “Best Racial Humor You Don’t Feel Guilty Laughing At”)
Nato Green (Iron Comic & Laughter Against The Machine)
Karinda Dobbins (Jabari Davis & Associates, Comedy SuperPAC, Comedy Bodega)
Dave Thomason (Silver Nail Award Winner, National Comedy Competition)
Other acts to be announced soon!
Afterward hang out and say goodbye to Kamau… Or ask him for that money that he owes you before he blows SF for the last time… for now.
[The residential end of a tremendously insightful, inspirationally hilarious run]

For the first run of weekly shows from March 12-May 7, this huge bag of cash is going to the Applied Research Center known for its online magazine, Colorlines.com.

Hey Party People: While you were all busy filing your taxes at the last possible second, The Business, San Francisco’s longest running alternative comedy show and foam party, turned a distinguished THREE YEARS OLD on April 15th. We’ve survived our terrible two’s (which were not terrible at all). We’ve made it past the Sophomore Slump (which wasn’t very slumpy at all). And as you know, three is a very lucky number that is very important to comedy. So far this year has been the most fun and full collection of shows we’ve ever put on. THE MAGIC IS WORKING ALREADY! Please come out this Wednesday night and help celebrate with us and our party pals:
Nato Green will be on hand and ready to party like it’s 2012. Known as “The Fifth Businessman” (even though we now are six members strong, so technically he’d be “The Seventh Businessman”) Nato is back at The Biz to help prep for his upcoming FULL LENGTH COMEDY ALBUM RECORDING! Nato speaks truth to power through the international language of love: stand-up comedy. When not prepping for CD recordings, Nato has also been working on a documentary with and about his fellow pinko commies Laughter Against The Machine. This party just became a political party yall!
Party Dog Mike Drucker visits The Biz again to do a keg stand off our pony keg…of laughs! A recent transplant from the Northwest, Mike has already made his nerd dominance felt throughout the Bay. A writer for Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, McSweeny’s and Nintendo (that’s right, dorks) Drucker also recently went head-to-head with Businessman Alex Koll during a Competitive Erotic Fan Fiction battle royale at Portland’s The Bridgetown Comedy Festival. How erotic will things get this Wednesday? Probably not much at all!
To add to the party vibe, we will also have The DJ Real Vs. Joe Tobin Experience on-stage as our house band, some party snacks and many more surprises!
All of the regular Businessmen will be in the mix, except for Bucky, who is off pushing his poetry in Portland. But not to worry, we’ve enlisted several holograms to take his place! Come for the comedy, stay for the future technology!
As always, the party starts at 8pm, the party price is just $5 and party supplies are nearby at Taqueria Cancun and other hot party spots in the ‘hood.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVERYONE!](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m323nlNJLO1qcxc43o1_500.jpg)
