Hey hey ladies and gents we have a lot to talk about in this episode so we brought in TWO very special guests. Ben Kolina becomes our first ever returning guest and he brings with him comedian and creator of the Bay Area comedy blog Courting Comedy O.J. Patterson. This week we talk about Glee, J. B. Smoove, poop, BB spin offs, and of course the fate of dear old Mike.
Due to some weird technical glitches there’s a weird echo that develops during the course of this episode. We know about it and did as much as we could to fix it. Sorry.

9/1. Courting Comedy: The Show @ Dirty Trix. 408 Clement St. SF. 9PM. Free. Featuring Kevin Camia, Kristee Ono, Duat Mai, Jennifer Dronsky, Kate Willett, and Clare O’Kane. Hosted by OJ Patterson.
Sylvan Productions presents another night of great comedy at the historic Dirty Trix Saloon. Get Yucked Up and the Friend Zone is taking a break and handing the reins to OJ Patterson, comedian/blogger/enthusiast, and he is bringing his brand of showcase featuring
Kevin Camia (Hilariously dark and brilliant, Comedy Central, SF Punch Line)
Kristee Ono (Smartly sardonic, alluringly demure, Ladies Brainwash)
Duat Mai (Abstract, hyperbolic surrealist, Rejects of Comedy)Jennifer Dronsky (Clever, ribbing, colloquialism, Hella Gay Comedy)
and special guests
Clare O’Kane (Seriously silly, hopelessly hilarious, Sylvan Productions)
Kate Willett (Taut, spry, dashing, deadpan, The Mission Position)
After each comedian a brief tongue and cheek, “post-game” interview occurs, giving the night a sense of depth and unpredictability. It shall be a very fun time.

You shift uncomfortably from foot to foot, queued on the sidewalk adjacent to a steamy Italian cafe. Quickly losing patience, which you’ve arguably never had, you’re inundated with idle conversations in a quagmire of unified strangers. Ostensibly waiting for comedy, truthfully you’re here for a single comedian, whom, is actually your charismatic co-worker, or your drug dealer, or your unhinged grandmother with a new lease on life. The Purple Onion straddles the coasts of the jostling Chinatown and North Beach’s unchecked vitality. Slinky couples clutch and shuffle through the habitat of urban smear mired in San Francisco’s classic, cellophane gray. As the proxy collective pulses forward, around and down a cumbersome staircase (very safe), and each individual is tolled by the ticket taker, the night’s makeup couldn’t be more smeared.
8/26. Underwear Comedy Night @ Deco Lounge. 510 Larkin St. SF. 8PM. $10. Featuring David Studebaker, William Lushbough, OJ Patterson, Jennifer Dronsky, Kate Willett, Pam Benjamin, Nick Sondhi and Nick Palm. Hosted by Casey Ley. Presented by Hella Gay Comedy. RSVP: Here. Advance Tickets: Here.
