10/31. The Business Halloween @ Dark Room Theater. 2263 Mission St. SF. 8pm. $5. Featuring Sean Keane, Bucky Sinister, Caitlin Gill, Mike Drucker, and Special Guest, Claudia Cogan.
How could there be a better place to spend Halloween than a theatre called the DARK ROOM? The Business is ready for the holiday, we have our candy, our costumes and our post victory parade riot gear all set.
Come one, come all, and bring the spirits of your ancestors with you. Don’t worry, if you get a case of the SPOOKIES, our guest this week will hold your hand.
Claudia Cogan will be joining us on this unholy night. She’s top notch. She’s been on Last Comic Standing 7 as a semi-finalist, been nominated three times for an Excellence in Comedy in New York (ECNY) award and won the first ever Time Out New York Joke of the Year nod. Claudia is an alum of UCB Theater improv school and played on several house teams. She has performed at the Bridgetown Comedy Festival and at clubs and colleges around the country.
Come join Claudia and your regulars Sean “Spooky” Keane, Bucky “Puts the SIN in” Sinister, “Maniacal” Mike Drucker and Caitlin “GILLotine” for a night of good Halloween fun*.
*”good Halloween fun” may include getting possessed by Halloween demongoblins. The Business is not responsible for any damage to your soul incurred during “fun”.
I found an old VHS tape in a shoebox on my porch this morning, along with 75 cents in nickels and an empty bottle of something called “Six Hour N-R-G.” Anyway, I uploaded the video - enjoy.

I was on KGO’s coverage of the last night at the Purple Onion. I believe I am also responsible for the disinformation at the beginning of the report, as I jokingly told the reporter there were 55 comics on the lineup and we’d go until 3 AM. There were 25 comics, tops, and the show was done by 12:15.
I don’t know why I’m shaking my head so much.
9/18. The Little Rascals of Comedy @ San Francisco Punch Line. 444 Battery St. SF. 8PM. $15. Featuring Sean Keane, Joe Gorman, Alison Stevenson, David Studabaker, David Gborie, Paul Herzog and Stroy Moyd. Tickets Available: Here.
Last night, I participated in Competitive Erotic Fan Fiction, a monthly LA show that made its San Francisco debut last night. The competition is split into two parts: in the first, contestants read prepared pieces of erotic fan fiction (topics last night included Animaniacs, Angry Birds, and the sitcom Family Matters). Before they read, contestants from the second round draw topics from a bag, and write their own pieces while the prepared works are read. Second-round topics included Watership Down, Carl Sagan’s Cosmos, and X-Men. I was fortunate enough to draw Driving Miss Daisy as my topic, and I’ve included my piece after the jump.
